...struggled so mightily for the Harvard Corporation to divest its stock in companies that are in South Africa. However, in the case of hiring a fair number of Black faculty, there cannot be an analogous counter-argument suggesting that an immediate loss would accrue to the University in any regard--which makes the situation all the more puzzling. Some faculty have tried lamely to suggest that affirmative action breeds Black dependence upon whites, but this smacks of the same sort of disingenuous concern conservatives have manifested for "the suffering Blacks" within South Africa whenever divestment is mentioned...

Yet in 1984 the Reagan Administration did not regard U.S. interests as threatened by the challenge to Panamanian democracy. So why is Washington so obsessed now about democracy in a country barely larger than West Virginia? And why is it apoplectic about the ouster of a dictator whom it comfortably did business with for many years? The answers rest less with...
