...welcome fact the letter makes clear is that the Faculty Council agrees that harassment is enough of a problem to require a unified policy. It settles that in the awkward power relationship between student and teacher, the University must step to protect the victim, and that there is need to publicize the problem so that women will know where to turn for the support they so badly need. What the letter hints at but does not quite address--as the Radcliffe Union of Students (RUS) has complained--is the extent to which the problem goes beyond rules and regulations, remaining...
While agreeing to publish year-end aggregate statistics on harassment cases, the Faculty Council has still balked at the logical step of informing harassment victims of the actions taken against the harasser involved; the stated reason is concern lest the victim "go public" with the incriminating data. This concern, though, is as misplaced as it has been all along. By scrupulously protecting the identities of professors found, in the wrong, the University not only indicates a tacit solidarity with the offenders but allows dangerous misperceptions to grow. A case in point is the problem noted by some minorities last year...

...Vaillant's work is that it is the first long-term study of alcoholism as it develops in individual lives. The usual approach is to examine alcoholics to see how their sickness evolved, a technique that is always blurred by the distortions of the victim's memory. Vaillant was able to begin at the beginning. For the past 16 years he has been the director of a unique research study that since 1940 has been following the lives of 200 Harvard graduates and 400 innercity, working-class men from Boston and Cambridge. In 1977 Vaillant published the first...
