...every junior faculty member at Harvard contemplates such bleak prospects. Yet almost every assistant professor here shares anxiety over an increasingly tight academic job market, the tug of war between teaching and research, and the driving need to publish, to gain prominence in his chosen field. The post of junior faculty member itself is something of an anomaly. Not yet established in the profession, the assistant professor stands below the senior faculty in status and in age. But he outranks the graduate student in intellectual achievement and position. As one assistant professor puts it. "Junior faculty are in an intellectual...
Grandiose, perhaps, but Harvard's tenure proceedings reflect that hope. An ad hoc committee, composed of President Bok, Dean Rosovsky, and a group of prominent scholars unaffiliated with Harvard, decide on the tenure appointments, ensuring the recipient of a tenured post will be widely known in his or her field.

There will be all sorts of influences: it's going to be a real African mix, such as you encounter in most parts of Africa. If Africans embrace Marxism, you'll end up not recognizing Marxism. I think that post-revolutionary...
...think it boils down to how the post-revolutionary regime there perceives the aid it's had. If sufficient pressures can be marshaled in the West to remove that veto from the Security Council, to start getting the West to behave as if it believes what it says, then there would be a chance of a reasonably democratic constitution. On the other hand if there is a long, bitter, drawn-out racial civil war, with an ever-growing need for the black liberation groups to get their aid from Russia and China, the new government won't be all that...
