...formal Faculty vote would be the most effective way to make anti-war sentiment felt. Wassily W. Leontief, Henry Lee professor of Economics, said that there was a "terrible difference between laid special emphasis on the unique nation." Both would "do the same thing, but speaking as a Faculty or as a convoca-the second would be much weaker than the first...

...open arms. The same goes for those who can unravel the myriad complexities of national politics and institutions. The former are never forced to write politics and the latter needn't ever have seen a play, let alone reviewed one. You just have to be able to do your thing well. Many members of the University community read Crimson editorials (notice we didn't say they agreed with them), and they do have an impact on the real world.
