BERLIN REVISITED

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

I would like to correct a possible impression that my Lowell Lecture of March 24 was devoted primarily to pronouncements on news of the day. The entire emphasis of that lecture--as of all six--was on an abstract analysis of the role of threats in bargaining and the concept of bargaining power; I did nothing so exciting as "weigh the Berlin crisis," as your headline indicated. As a matter of fact, I would not agree with the opinions attributed to me in your article.

In my brief allusion to the Berlin controversy, I merely pointed out the obvious fact that both sides have voiced hreats (not that they "must" do so). I certainly drew no policy implications for this situation from the example of Munich. Daniel Ellsberg '52
