Apparently feeling that his long ordeal was about over, Donovan struck a defiant note two weeks ago after a four-hour grilling before a grand jury in The Bronx in New York City. The jurors had been looking into Schiavone's subway work at the request of Bronx District Attorney Mario Merola, a four-term Democrat. Donovan claimed that the jury was doing nothing more than "a rehash" of "the baseless allegations" that Silverman had investigated. It was all "a witch hunt," he said.

In what respect, then, is divestment a more effective, more forceful expression of disapproval? Because it will contribute in some significant way to ending apartheid? We have seen that this is most unlikely. Because the stock of American companies in South Africa is peculiarly tainted? That rationale is also unrealistic. The argument that divestment will be a peculiarly effective gesture must presumably rest on the belief that divestment will cost Harvard money and thus represent a sacrifice which will revel...
