...that he should not have negotiated with more than 1,200 rioters looking on. Nor should newsmen and TV cameras have been permitted into the yard, thereby giving rioters a national limelight that they were unwilling to relinquish. The 33 "citizen observers"-an unwieldy group including Radical Lawyer William Kunstler and New York Times Columnist Tom Wicker, were too "racked with ideological differences" to be much help.

One hundred seven faculty members sign a petition written by Archibald Cox urging that Devore be fired or censured and attributing the turkey test scores to "cultural conditioning."
