Worth a Blink

To the Editors of the Crimson:

Even an experienced Crimson reader might blink at Wednesday's unsigned editorial about Richard Hyland. Usually the Crimson makes some pretense of marshalling evidence to support opinion. But in this case, just after the writer notes that "of the facts in Dick's (Hyland's) case, we know nothing and do not presume to judge," he asserts that "he (Hyland) is a political prisoner."

It sounds as if the Crimson editorial board has been infiltrated by the Lampoon. Daniel J. Mekzer '73
