...women of college age. Nor do the young alone have reason to feel put upon. It takes no youthful perception to see that there is much in this period about which to be both worried and discontented, even angered. All of us are tormented by the war in Vietnam and its recalcitrant opposition to repeated efforts at solution. None of us is unaware of or unmoved by the manifold troubles which confront us at home and the apparent inability of established institutions to make adequate quick response. There can be no question here of a generation...
Joyfully Biased. Hinckle readily concedes that Ramparts stories are "totally and absolutely and joyfully biased. We went in to hang the CIA.

...permits CIA agents to take graduate courses at the East Asian Research Center--fortunately, the CIA men are only interested in getting inculcated with the values of a "liberal education"! Harvard also allows recruiters from various corporations on campus to recruit students to continue the oppression of people in Vietnam, South Africa, Guetamala, Iran, etc. It is not surprising that David Rockfeller (President of Chase Manhattan) and others like him sit as Overseers of Harvard University...
