What Brown hoped to accomplish with his safari remained unclear. As an open but un declared candidate for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, he may have wanted to acquire some credentials on international matters. He did meet with the leaders of Ken ya and Liberia and was planning to go to Tan zania. The trip also gave Brown a chance to inspect environmental protection programs, something he passionately supports. At one visit to a United Nations project, he saw a map showing that the danger of arable land turning into desert is greater in California than in Kenya...
When SALT will be sent to the Senate is unclear, despite strong indications that the U.S.-Soviet talks are nearly concluded.

...finally argues that divestiture would be "very likely to prove ineffective in achieving its objectives." This is the most disturbing aspect of our President's position. Many of us arrived here believing that one does what is right even if the results of doing so are unclear. No one would contend that Harvard alone can end apartheid or force corporate withdrawal from South Africa--the University simply does not control a large enough share of the stock of any single corporation--neither do all but a handful of powerful shareholders. But it is not Harvard's moral obligation...
