K: I got your note and rather than engage in extended correspondence -- I have
absolutely refused to talk to newsmen about this meeting nor has any member
of this staff. Most of this is a re-write of Mary McGrory and what ever was
said on TV from the group when the emerged and items from the Crimson. I
have said I never took the meeting seriously.
N: I don't think you should say -- I don't either.
K: I don't feel threatened. Whether I will or want to come back to a university
I really don't know but that's independent. I have some strong objections to the
group but not because I felt threatened. As a friend, I thought it was inhuman
at that time.
N: I did too.
K: That has absolutely nothing to do --
N: Speaking as a member of the department I just wanted to say anything I could
if you needed reassurance.
K: I appreciated the spirit of your letter and it was very generous of you.
N: Don't be silly.
K: It was very much appreciated. There are no hard personal feelings on
my side.
N: The point is that in the department there is nothing but a desire to have you
back when and if you can.
K: You are very nice.
N: You are an ornament.
K: Wait til we clean out the sanctuaries in Laos!
N: I don't know what political science is but whatever it is, you are an ornament
of it.
K: I have made no decisions about coming back in Feb.
N: That was not said to press you.
K: No, I don't feel that.
