Pasztor's blithe allusion to unnamed "half-truths" in articles by David R. Caploe prior to the "Counter Teach-In" is particularly infuriating in light of the fact that it was only through an article published on March 26 by Caploe that members of the Harvard community learned that SJP had-inadvertently or otherwise-seriously misrepresented its program. In fact. the only major inaccuracies in Caploe's coverage came when he trusted SJP spokesmen in their statements that the Teach-In would be addressed by the South Vietnamese Ambassador to the United States and the Royal Thai Ambassador...
...Ambassador had never intended to speak; indeed, we were told by his appointment secretary that she had told Pasztor at the beginning of that week that the Ambassador would not appear.

It is inconceivable to us that this group now presumes to instruct the Harvard community on freedom of speech and freedom of the press...

Not Protection" to which Mr. Waldron's letter addresses itself appeared May 4th. Such biased treatment is consistent with past treatment Students for a Just Peace has received from the CRIMSON Moreover, Miss Day's response to Mr. Waldron's letter is clearly in line with the general CRIMSON policy of blatant distortion and outright falsification of news in its coverage of SJP activities as well...
