...Finally, the BLSA's account of the vulgar disruption by some Jewish students at last year's talk is mistaken in one crucial respect. They state that "Neither the Dean nor other members of the faculty spoke out against this disruption and violation of free speech". I know that Muhammad Kenyatta knows this account is in error, for he has commented favorably to me about a letter I published in the Crimson strongly criticizing this disruption, and I supported the BLSA's concern for presenting Palestinian issue at Harvard.

...status quo and of the people whom you're referring to, Charles. And I think that insufficient resources have been allocated to those who would make arguments critical of the status quo, but the resources for making those arguments are there in the law. I'm not as vulgar a Marxist as you are, Charles. That's what I'm trying to say. I don't believe the law is strictly the instrument of the ruling class...
