...there was no way to discipline what Heimert calls an increasing number of "wayward students" in the late '60s and early '70s. All students, not just card-carrying members of SDS, and even in the traditionally upper crust world of Eliot House were rebelling against Harvard-and its dress code...
...though of course only a small minority of party members were actual spies). To fake the Venona traffic would have required a conspiracy involving thousands, working together over many years.
