...merits of Kiely's proposals are worth considering. First, it would offer freshmen the opportunity to grapple with events, issues and problems in a serious and coherent framework that cuts across academic departments. The objection that it is premature and arbitrary for freshman to concentrate on a single theme or historical period is naive, as every freshman discovers. Selecting a melange of half-courses from the catalogue inevitably involves a large dose of arbitrary choices.

And Chile's military, frightened by Popular Unity's movement toward true socialization of wealth and its rights--within the framework of traditional law and with full respect for traditional civil liberties--violently overthrew Salvador Allende's peacefully elected government and established a reign of terror, bloodshed and repression that still continues. Elsewhere in the world, most notably in Greece and Thailand, struggles for freedom have overturned governments, to this country...
