Playing Out String

"The University, in its efforts
to follow this process, seems to
be playing out a string that has
long since passed its peak. In
fact, we are very well accepted
at Harvard, and the work of Mr.
Tullock and myself is used as
a textbook there. What's playing
out here are the cliches of the
1950's and the Kennedy era."

During the controversy, many
charges have been made that the
economics professors have been
forced to leave by lack of confidence
and refusal to promote
them, and are not leaving by
choice.
