TO CRITICIZE WHAT IS WRONG
The Mail
To the Editors of The Crimson:
I understand that you have reprinted a piece I wrote in 1969 about The Crimson's role in the tumult that year. On rereading the piece I am struck by its cowed, apologetic tone and implied notion that The Crimson had some sort of peace-keeping responsibility at a time of disruption. I hope that in reporting the university's events and criticizing what is wrong, the current editors of The Crimson are less concerned than we were about hurting the feelings of those in power.
