Aflanl Lowenstein
Shining moment
ends in bullets
by Msgr Nod C. Bisrtenshaw
The Georgia Bulletin
Oii March 16, 1968, Bobby
Kennedy anhounced he would be a
candidate for President of the
United States. He was very happy.
But no one else was.
The following day Jackie
Kennedy called family tattle-tale
and historian Arthur Schlesinger
and said “they are going to do to
Bobby what they did to Jack. We
must talk him out of it. I am most
unhappy.”
Schlesinger heartily agreed. He
was equally unhappy. Brother Ted
was unhappy. Eugene McCarthy
breaking his back on a lonely
campaign trail was unhappy.
Washington's liberal senators,
cheering the brave and brash
McCarthy on, were unhappy.
AI Lowenstein, that one man
passionate pleader, and worldwide
working whiz fora new society was
happy. To AL Bobby Kennedy was
the nation’s leading contender for
the highest office. He knew the
purpose and power of government.
He would use it to stop the Saigon
war, heal the wounds it had caused
and bring equality to the divided
communities of America.
Lowenstein in his well-known
childlike exuberance, was ecstatic.
ChUdlikeness was a good and
often used term for Allard
Lowenstein went on alone—a one
man excitement act wherever he
moved.
The churning motor of
excitement stalled within Allard
Lowenstein that evening in June
1968 when his leader, the man who
inoculated him with a passion for
justice, was shot down in Los
Angeles. “Bobby Kennedy,” he
would say “brought out the best
and the beast in our nation. It was
the beast who waited for him in the
kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel.”
He failed to sgyflK beast still
stalked from the dark recesses of
our society.
One week ago Allard
Lowenstein became the latest
victim. A cheap handgun,
America’s modern chamber of
horron. took him as the adrenalin
still flowed and his insatiable thirst
for justice searched the horizon for
new campaigns. He was S2.
Allard Lowenstein, another all
too brief shining moment.

His job was service to that
leadership. And serve he did.
He came out of the University of
North Carolina in 1948 at the age
of 20. They called the brilliant New
York Jew a youth leader. Forever
he would cherish the name. With
ease, with the knack of a preaching
prophet he led youth up the path of
dedication and service.
They followed Al Lowenstein to
South Africa where he said the

him on buses to Southern sit-ins

Georgetown, which graduates
more U.S. foreign service officers
than any other university in the
country, accepted $200,000 from
Saudi Arabia; $425,000 from
Jordan; $50,000 each from Egypt
and Qatar, and $350,000 from the
United Arab Emirates—these
grants representing two-thirds of
the Center’s funding—and other
funding from Mobil Oil, Texaco,
Chase Manhattan Bank, Citibank

university also accepted a
$750,000 grant from Libya for the

According to an article in the
May-June„1979, issue of Aramco
from Saudi Arabia for a
program of Islamic and Arabian
development studies.
Analysis of instances in which
the facts have become known-
makes clear that, at least in some
cases, there are political or other
strings attached—sometimes
obviously, sometimes covertly.
Because of this, a recent California
State Senate resolution endorses
open disclosure, upon public or
individual request, of contract
terms and conditions as a strong
safeguard. Most universities tend to
act responsibly once they are
forced to disclose contract
conditions by persons or bodies
within the universities
themselves. If such disclosure were
made a matter of policy by
universities, academic integrity
would be all the better protected.
