To the Editors of The Crimson:
Miriam Sagan '75 has suggested that "the Crimson would have better served the Harvard community by reporting the exact nature of Shockley's theories," rather than focusing on circumstances surrounding the cancellation of his appearance.
I thank her for relating to us some of what he has written and suggesting that the Crimson might do more. But I, for one, would rather hear what the man has to say for himself. I prefer to evaluate racism or other views myself rather than depend on Ms. Sagan's filtered version. I would even, forgive me dear editors, rather hear the original than read about it in the Crimson.
Must we close the Forum to liars and fools? Who knows truth? Fred Hopengarten GB'72
