TODAY FASCISM DIES...a lengthy strip of cardboard bearing that willful message punctuated the debris strewn in the wake of rebellion at the Athens Polytecnic School nearly a year ago. Fascism is no more perishable than the phoenix, but its victims die. The Greek people suffered from brutal repression to which America was an accomplice for seven years. With the national elections tomorrow--the first in over a decade--Greece will quench internal tyranny, and the United States will have an opportunity to show that it is not wedded to unlawful terrorist regimes...
...PRODUCTION of Fiorello! at Harvard or Radcliffe was only a matter of time, and its timing--in the well-publicized Wake of Watergate--is as might have been expected. For a community as politically pretentious and cleverly cynical as this one, this musical comedy is positively self-indulgent. And in an era when police graft and political embezzlement are no more surprising than that Senate investigation hearings should compete successfully with afternoon soap operas, this tale of Tammany Hall and the maverick politician who, as much as any man could, managed to overcome the forces of evil is a natural...

...problems go deeper than just its structure.

The committee carried out the dictates of the Faculty's vaguely-worded Resolution on Rights and Responsibilities. Anyone who "obstructed the normal processes and activities" of the University was liable to be disciplined by the CRR; the resolution, still on the books, leaves the boundaries of political protest to the arbitrary discretion of the Faculty...
That kind of cooperative relationship wouldn't be bad if it weren't for the nature of Iran's government and educational system. Iran's Shah, Mohammed Reza Pahlevi, came to power in 1953 in the wake of a CIA-sponsored coup: the American government ousted Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh because of his reforms in tax distribution, nationalization of the oil industry, and friendly stance toward the Soviet Union. The CIA installed the Shah as head of state because he was a staunch supporter of the American government...
