...campus above board--has strengthened his reputation and Harvard's, in the words of Thomas A. Bartlett, president of the American Association of Universities, "as notable bulwarks of academic freedom." Bok developed the first and only set of guidelines regulating intelligence agency activities on campus, and has been a vocal spokesman for these freedoms, consistenly challenging CIA director Stansfield Turner's rebuttals. In the midst of his concern for federal problems, however, Bok, one community leader says, has ignored problems closer to home. "While he accuses the CIA of running rampant on campus, he forgets that Harvard is running rampant...
Obviously Fundamentalists and Evangelicals who want to mix religion and politics would favor Carter or Anderson, right? Wrong. The most vocal ones, at least, find Reagan's conservatism almost irresistible. Says Richard Zone, executive director of a new political lobby called Christian Voice: "Reagan is not the best Christian that ever walked the face of the earth, but we really don't have a choice."

The most vocal editors do not always represent the views of all staff members. As a publication, The Crimson should have some uniform policy, but there should never be any rule preventing an editor from holding an individual view...
...Loeb goes far beyond technical proficiency or dramatic virtuosity. The play demands total ensemble work not just for the sake of the number of major roles it contains but for the revelation of its multiple meanings, and the American Repertory Theater (ART) provides a group of performers with vocal skill, physical agility, and intellectual acumen. They present in transcendent clarity--sometimes in neon signs--the question at the heart of Shakespeare's play: how to create marital tranquility out of the irrational workings of love. Most of the refinements and elaborations director Alvin Epstein introduces serve not to obscure...
