After Syria's breakaway last September, the three-year-old United Arab States consisted only of two members-Egypt and tiny, backward Yemen. Last week, Nasser kicked out Yemen.

...relations with Arab states the United States government has on occasion compromised this principle for reasons of state. American philanthropic organizations have compromised it for reasons of altruism. But neither diplomatic necessity nor philanthropic license are foremost criteria for the policy of Harvard University. Above all, Harvard has the legal and moral obligations of an educational institution to look after...
