Your statement [June 7] that Sylvia Wallace was "a former ghostwriter" for me is completely erroneous...
Harvard's outrageous suspension of shop stewards Sylvia gallagher, Alan Balsam and John Schaffer represents an escalation of its continuing assault on the campus labor movement. In an episode reminiscent of the Sherman Holcombe cauliflower controversy, the Harvard administration has again seized on a minor dispute--this time the question of where on the plate Alan Balsam should put hamburgers--as a pretext for purging the kitchen workers of their leaders and intimidating the rest of the local's membership. In addition to the suspensions, Harvard has docked all the workers who walked out in solidarity with Balsam two hours...

Gallagher has apparently been threatened with punishment by the University for her role in the walkout; she was also briefly shown, but denied a copy of a letter...
