The Koreans, it appears, have learned more than one more trick from their American friends. In an article published this week in the Boston Phoenix, the names of two Harvard professors appeared on an "enemies list" apparently drawn up by Korean officials in 1974.
The existence of the list did not surprise Edwin O. Reischauer, University Professor, listed as a class "A" enemy, because he already knew of its existence. According to the Phoenix article, Reischauer could not obtain a travel visa or enter Korea. However, the reason Reischauer has not visited Korea since 1973--despite having received a number of invitations--is not because he was denied a visa. Rather, he said last Sunday he decided not to go to Korea because he was afraid the meaning of his presence there might be "manipulated."
Jerome A. Cohen, director of Asian Legal Studies and professor of Law, who was also listed as a "class A" enemy, was unavailable for comment this week.
