...Corporation's statement indicates a number of things. The first is that if negotiations with the Pentagon don't work out as hoped, the Corporation may have some trouble with Faculty and students who resent the Corporation's power. The second is that, all the pious cant about university neutrality to the contrary, the University does take explicit, public, and collective stands on political matters.

His Jewish-born father is a plodding textile-mill owner; his mother is a driving Hausfrau-a stern and pious character preaching joylessly that "Life means working, working, and then more working." Young Peter flees the expected middle-class role by becoming an art student in Prague...
