Instead of adopting fluster or bluster, Dartmouth's President John Sloan Dickey coolly warned that he would seek a court injunction and summon police if any buildings were seized by students. Both sides thus knew precisely where events were taking them, in sharp contrast to recent campus collisions across the country...
...devils," says Columbia Historian Walter Metzger, a specialist on academic freedom. "There has got to be some imagination and a very sophisticated armory of responses, including negotiation and dialogue." Law Professor Gerald Gunther of Stanford argues that it is better to bring the courts into campus confrontations than to summon police in the first instance.

To summon up the past, he meticulously compiles scene after scene of scholars poring over the Talmud, women dancing the hora, rabbis lecturing-and finally, Germans plundering. At almost every turn, Cohen, a television news cameraman, betrays his background. Amateur performances only serve as bridges between static reconstructions; when there is action...
