Hartman charges that his contract termination was prompted by personal and political considerations. Active here in what some would call the New Left of planning, he was vocal in his negative views of the University's plans for the surrounding community.

...Congress continues to shirk its responsibility, and the vocal majority must continue its outraged condemnations of our barbaric government policy at every possible opportunity.

But in some countries, at least, they form a vocal, dedicated cadre determined to influence the masses through conscientizacion-"consciousness raising"-or as some now prefer, politizacion. Chile's radical priests' organization, which is led by Jesuit Gonzalo Arroyo, the congress organizer, is called the Group of 80-in a nation that has 2,500 priests. An Argentine priests' group, the Third World Movement, claims 400 members...
