So today we're being more open. We're making more speeches, participating- in more symposiums and publishing more and hoping to tell Americans what we do." Also that month, Turner gave a speech at the University of Kentucky. There he said it was important for the intelligence community to maintain "warm and traditional ties that have existed with the academic community for many years." He said "public criticism" has strained these ties in recent years, but added that he was "dedicated to trying to rebuild them in every way possible." Events which occurred between the time that speech was given and now, however, indicate Turner has been less, than successful in his attempt to "rebuild" ties with the academic sci-fi (Continued from Page 6) Why? Because unlike Harlan Ellison in the past, Pohl rarely laces his fiction with revealing non-fiction introductions. To many of his readers, his personality has been a mystery, the clues to which have been few and far between. The autobiography goes a long way towards solving this puzzle by providing interesting anecdotes about the author's early life. One such anecdote concerns Pohl's involvement in the Communist party as a young man. The author details his involvement with the party which "In 1936 . . . sounded adventurous, active, and, above all, 'progressive." The Way the Future Was, as does Strange Wine, provides invaluable background on its author's life which can't help but enhance one's understanding of the fiction. Considering the rarity of such backgrounds, both books merit the attention of science fiction fans and non-fans alike. community. The major point of contention is guidelines which would restrict CIA activities on campus. One month after his speech at the University of Kentucky, Turner wrote in a letter to Harvard President Derek Bok: "I simply cannot lend my affirmative support to, or consider this Agency bound by any confidential association that an academic has with us is so inherently suspect as to require it to be publicly acknowledged and made 'subject to scrutiny,' as your, letter puts it, and deprives academics of all freedom of choice in relation to involvement in intelligence activities." In July, Turner again focused his attention on the University of Michigan. In another letter to Fleming, Turner took the opportunity to state his opposition to the Harvard and, more specifically, the proposed Michigan guidelines. In well couched terms, however, Turner admits that the CIA uses campus contacts to "spot" likely candidates for Agency employment. "Beyond steps designed to identify individuals of possible interest to us" the CIA does not generally "pursue personnel inquiries" without informing conversations - (Continued from Page 6) They examine the roots of our country. They re-think, and demand that we all re-think, the American revolution until we understand its glory and limitations, and its profound meaning to the people we are today. The authors state the American revolution was an attempt by a great many people to create a place in the world based on human aspirations and ideals. The idea embodied in the Constitution, that individuals have both the right and responsibility to govern themselves and control their own destinies, is one example. The authors use their understanding of the American Revolution "to make clear to Americans our unique and elemental strength as people, and why our nation matters to the human race." In Conversations in Maine the authors explore many topics we would the individual involved, wrote Turner. He wrote that although he "sympathizes with the University's concern over how foreign students may be compromised," Turner could not see why foreign students could not be afforded the same freedom to decide their future that American students enjoy. Another point-which keeps cropping up in all of Turner's rejoinders to the guidelines is that universities and colleges are being unfair to the CIA by not granting it the same rights any corporation has to recruit on campus. Turner has stated repeatedly that he sees no difference between the way many corporations recruit and the manner in which the CIA recruits on college campuses. On September 8, 1978 another response to CIA activities on campus came from University of Michigan political science professor Michael Oksenberg. In an affidavit submitted in response to the Gardels lawsuit, Oksenberg, currently on indefinite leave from the University to hold a post on the National Security Council, where he is consulted as a China expert, confessed to having "the same kind of not easily define as political. But as we read them we come to understand that our art, families, communities, schools, health, our vision, our ethics, and the way in which we make decisions, are all "political." Conversations confronts us. Eistein's statement, "When we split the atom we changed everything but- man's mind" is repeated many times. As readers we begin to think: what did Einstein mean, what do the authors mean? How has life changed in the last 500 years, 100 years, 20 years? The purpose of Conversations in Maine is clear: it is to understand and develop history and xideas, for the authors and the readers, in terms of re- creating America and Americans. Fred- dy and Lyman Paine, and James and Grace Lee Boggs have set for them- selves the task of redefining the idea of revolution for this specific place and time. They've come to understand that in 1978 "The only reason one would ever want a revolution in this country is because one wanted to be again with one's fellow human beings." To put it another way, they write, "The awesome challenge of the American revolution is to project to Americans the grandeur of humankind." Conversations in Maine is both a record of the development of revolutionary ideas and a directing, compelling force of ideas and challenges to we who are, or should be, committed to social change in this country. They are magnificent in their scope, and profound in their depth and implication. Conversations in Maine will take its place among works that have deeply affected the evolution of humankind. It is a book for and by Americans, for all of us and each of us. professional association with CIA personnel as well as State and Defense department officials that I had with my university colleagues. Oksenberg stated he decided to go on the record and "publicly acknowledge" his relationship with the Agency because he said he felt the disclosure of names of others could ruin relations between the CIA and academia-a relation he said is beneficial to everyone. Turner made clear, once and for all on October 22, his stand on university guidelines which inhibit CIA activities on campus. Turner appeared on CBS' Face the Nation. The question and answers went as follows: Q: "Don't you think you should abide by Harvard's rules?" Turner: "If I were required to abide by the rule of every corporation, every academic institution in this country, I it would be impossible to do the required job for our country." Q: "So the answer is no?" Turner: "The answer is no, absolutely no." Q: "You're insisting on the right to subvert their rules?" Turner: "No, I'm not subverting their rules. I am carrying out the legal responsibilities of the Central Intelligence Agency, and Harvard does not have a legal authority over us." The reason Turner is so adamantly opposed to the Harvard guidelines or those of any other university, according to Gardels, is that guidelines could lead to legislation-rules that Turner could not ignore. Gardels said that once the universities have guidelines there is a base from which to move toward legislation. By confronting the situation at the university level the CIA is trying to "head off" any legislation which could effectively end CIA covert activi- ty on campus. Cornell (Continued from Page 5) endowed colleges at Cornell depend, to a large degree, on alumni support and as Freeman said, "Alumni is a big thing." Some students, however, think there is too much emphasis on tradition at Cornell. "They're resting on their prestigious laurels," said Cornell senior James Kirby of the university administration and faculty. One Sun reporter charged that some students are "just here to buy their degrees" or simply pay hefty tuition fees in return for a prestigious Cornell degree and possible graduate school positions or job offers. Rhodes, however, maintains that a Cornell degree is just as strong as it ever was and that degrees are never based on tradition. "Reputations are earned," says Rhodes. "It is up to each individual to perform to the best of his or her abilities. No one can rely on a. reputation." food (Continued from Page7) The first step in making the soup is to separate and clean the flowerettes of cauliflower. Rene then cooked the cauliflower in a saucepan full of chicken stock. While this mixture was cooling, he whipped up a quick roux - butter and flour - on another burner, and then added cream. He removed the flowerettes from the stock, and gradually added the stock to the roux. Then he combined the flowerettes with" the stock-roux mixture, added an egg yolk for richness, and pureed it all in a food processor. He returned the mix to the burner, added a few more flowerettes, and seasoned it. Sorry, but the seasoning is a secret. Meanwhile, I was grinding filberts in the food processor. Then I separated 10 eggs and mixed the yolks and nuts with cognac. Next, I beat the egg whites with confectioners sugar in another bowl. When the whites were stiff, I added baking powder and flour. After folding the yolk-nut mixture into the whites, I put the whole lot into a Ioaf pan and tossed it into the oven. While Rene went to check on the bread, I prepared the frosting, which contained chocolate, cognac, more eggs, butter, sugar, vanilla, and assorted goodies. it was now nearly 5:00, and much work remained, so I began the salad. pnp mpmnwjhilp w hiev With the next step was to gently pat it into an oval shape, fold it and then place the dough back into the bowl to rise again. The lamb, the Pommes Anna, and the broccoli were allthat remained. I started on the potatoes. With a slicer, I cut the potatoes as thin as chips. Then I buttered an enamel frying pan, and covered the bottom of it with potato slices. Next, I added bits of butter, plus salt and pepper, then another layer of potatoes. The preparation of the lamb was fairly simple. Rene lined the inside of the saddle with ground sea.salt and fresh cracked pepper, and thyme. We would have preferred rosemary - a spice which compliments fowl and lamb - but we were out of it. Next, he readied the bread for the oven. He removed it from the bowl, and again shaped it into a flat oval, which he cut into three equal portions. Working quickly, he rolled each into the shape of the traditional French baguette. When I returned, Rene was in the shower, and everything was ,et: After our guests arrived, we would have to finish some last minute preparations such as sautee the scallops, decant the Petit Syrah, which would require at. least two hours breathing, and baste the roast with butter from time to time.
