"The people look the other way," explained one Vietnamese last week, "because the monks do not have a just cause now. They did in 1963." Nor have the stage-managed martyrs produced the waves of shock in the U.S. that rolled across the press and public in 1963, generating pressure that persuaded Washington to abandon Diem...

...building program has reached the stage at which it is incumbent upon the University and the Committee to decide if they, intend to push forward to a mature program in the field of Latin American Studies. If so, a shifting of gears rather than a period of "idling" is necessary. The progress in the past five years has been confied to a strengthening of the various departments in the field. Harvard has passed the point where any appointment is bound to bring nods of approval simply because something is better than nothing. The next phase of the building program requires...
