...one will deny that members of the University or anyone else has the "right" to hear "facts" about Russia. Nor will anyone deny that those people eager for the knowledge can ask any person they please to tell them about Russia.

Their letter's intolerant demand for the suppression of facts about Russia ought not to prevail in an institution dedicated to to Truth, and is as dangerous to the accomplishment of the university's contribution to national life as the current journalistic claptrap which inspired...
