...nothing inevitable about this flood. Certain HSA activities encroach; others do not; and it would be pointless to insist that the entire agency is a sweeping, irresistible evil. (The article below is part of an attempt to illustrate this). The trouble is simply that the University refuses to trim offending activities down to their proper size. No doubt the fact that the HSA Director wears extra hats in the student employment office and in Administration committees has something to do with Harvard's passivity, but it certainly cannot completely explain who the Administration apparently never subjects the HSA to thorough...

There was occasional sadness in his voice (the undertaking was indeed a last resort), but occasionally his eyes gleamed with boyish delight and muscles rippled energetically beneath a faded, blue Lacoste shirt...

He carefully built and husbanded a crack fighting force equipped with Communist-bloc weapons and indoctrinated with Marxist ideas. "It's the best group that ever was," he brags. He kept his units in fighting trim with diversionary attacks on the French army's fortified defense lines across the border, but his troops took no part in the bitter war in Algeria itself. Thus the army's losses were trifling compared with those of the guerrilla fighters in the Algerian wilayas. Boumedienne is detested...
