...reaction was the exception and not the rule. In spring 1976, the presidents of America's eight most prestigious universities gathered for a secret meeting in Washington's Mayflower Hotel. They were given complete details of the CIA's recruitment of foreign students on their campuses, but a clear majority accepted the status quo and took no action...
Several months ago, Zia had served notice that he intended to "hang the blighter," as he put it, but hope persisted that he would spare Bhutto's life if only to save his troubled country from another divisive emotional trauma. Thus reaction to the execution last week was one of shock and dismay. French President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, who had just drafted another appeal to Zia, expressed his "profound emotion" at the execution. Britain's Guardian editorialized: "Death came to Bhutto not with the due panoply of justice but like a thief...
...ENGELHARD LIBRARY is a small, unpublicized basement facility used by only a few graduate students. This quiet commemoration of a million-dollar contribution provoked a vehement student reaction which needs no recounting here. On the other hand the Kennedy School accepted a like sum from a major oil company with great fanfare. It proclaimed the ARCO Public Affairs Forum the focal point of the new building. Every speech, debate, reception or symposium has been heralded by a series of posters and newspaper notices emphasizing the capitalized ARCO name. But this has not moved students to question its propriety. The Forum...
Another problem is that Forum planners may exercise self-censorship when selecting topics. Jackson stated emphatically that ARCO's possible reaction to a particular event would never be a consideration. But self-censorship need not be conscious. For example, the subjects of oil industry corruption or "The Political Clout of Atlantic Richfield" might prove too embarrassing even to be considered. Again, business critics such as Cesar Chavez and former Iowa Senator Dick Clark have spoken at the Forum, and the School has also invited a couple of prominent socialists. However, the crucial point remains that there has been a conspicuous...
...anticipated a lot of negative reaction when I went to talk over my proposal with Jack Reardon," Jackson, who missed the 1978 football campaign (he plays middle guard) due to torn cartilage in his left knee, said. But he impressed the athletic director with a thorough knowledge of insurance requirements for the rustic IAB, the University's rules on the matter, and an itemized cost breakdown for the benefit. Jackson also had on-the-job experience organizing a Labor Day boxing benefit in Erie, Pa., with Harvard's U.S. Marine Corps champion boxer Ron Di Nicola...
