...much stronger today than it was ten years ago, 20 years ago. There is no doubt about it. Fifteen years ago, a prominent West German politician used to quip that Germany economically was a giant but politically was a dwarf. I don't think that this holds true any longer.

Harvard administrators like to make changes quietly, presenting the results as a completed whole before the Faculty and the public. True to form, the Core arrived in the face of negative student opinion and without student input. Non-voting student members have served on committees reviewing the courses, but Rosovsky ordered them not to talk about the proposals, minimizing their contact with other undergraduates...
