Two Italian-born professors at Harvard sent a letter to The New York Times last Thursday protesting the United States Government's extension of diplomatic courtesy to Giorgio Almirante, a leader of the Italian Neo-Fascist Party.
Gino Germani, a visiting professor of Government, and Paolo Sylos-Labini, Lauro DeBosis lecturer on Italian Civilization, said in the letter that Almirante, as a participant in an Italian Fascist Government during the Second World War, was an agent of the Nazis.
The two professors said that a meeting, which the Times reported on, between Almirante and members of the National Security Council, would impair American credibility in Itlay.
As of Monday, the letter had not been printed.
