Throughout his contorted argument, Bok assumes a trade-off between academic freedom and moral freedom. He creates the "real administrative burdens" by his resistance to change and all his apologetic propoganda. Finally he is left with the one remaining issue that rings of truth: real financial losses. And despite his disclaimer, university corporations are individuals under the law. His financial ethic is one of private greed, not public responsibility...
...disturbing, scary movie, and most viewers, especially women, are turned off by Nolte's super-masculine individualism. In truth, Who'll Stop the Rain? only scratches the surface of these sordid time. But it makes the effort, matched only in this strangely apolitical decade by Chinatown. I admire that, and maybe you will too; Paramount put no money into promotion and it opened and closed most places last August in a week. If you can, watch the reaction of the Cambridge audience, as Moriarty and Weld (people very much like your normal Cambridge intellectual) are forced to rely...

...writes that by adopting a position on moral questions, the University would establish an official orthodoxy that might silence debate and limit the "open-minded search for truth." But moral choices will have to be made: the Harvard Corporation's current orthodoxy, which sanctions investment in South Africa, bolsters the profits of the Nestle corporation, and glorifies a man who made his fortune in the mines of South Africa, is a more pernicious denial of free expression than the orthodoxy President Bok tries to scare us with. As of now, the seven men on the Harvard Corporation make decisions...
Historically--and I speak from experience under four administrations--Expository Writing 13 is the finest writing course we offer. Admission is highly competitive. Standards are extraordinarily high. The quality of instruction is quite possibly the best in the program. If the truth were known, Fiction is probably the only Expos course the majority of students would elect to take of their own volition...
