...conscience. Like their counterparts at Harvard, the B.U. SDS attacked their University for its holding in Middle South Utilities, arguing that under the cover of "neutrality" the University was supporting repressive institutions. But the specific attack on Gordon involved a second, more radical premise--that the University couldn't accept a bad man's money, even for uses of its own. The reasoning leads down a path to nihilism. Is Rockefeller Foundation money, considering how it was originally made, clean or tainted? Could the universities exist at all if they accepted funds with a strict eye to moral purity...
...hesitates to label such an unpromising campaign "opportunistic." Kennedy is, after all, risking everything in a year when he might risk next to nothing. He has thrown in with the Democratic Party's bastard wing, not even sure they will accept him. If he has miscalculated, it is not so much out of opportunism as out of conviction: the conviction that Robert Kennedy has what it takes in this banner year of American political history. Given the alternatives, Kennedy's conviction is a tempting...
...action in social matters. The government must take autonomous action in the public interest which can then be justified to a sluggish populace in terms of the government's general authority to act. This is why Bundy put so much emphasis on the need to educate the public to accept a wider role for the government. The people must be like passengers in a bus who give the driver authority to take them by any route he chooses to a chosen destination...
...continuation of current projects and a moderate expansion of the fellowship program. Limited office space and funds restrict the number of fellows to 15. In new headquarters --one possibility is moving into Littauer once the Kenedy Library is completed--and with probable subsidiary grants, the Warren Center could conceivably accept most of the qualified (meaning, very highly qualified) post-doctoral American historians who apply for the fellowships. Applications for the first three years of the program have averaged around 50, and the number may dwindle after a few years. Moreover, a similar center to be opened by Johns Hopkins University...
...sorts in Jonathan Kozol, the 31-year-old former Boston schoolteacher, author of the winner in science, philosophy and religion, Death at an Early Age. Kozol said that he was giving his $1,000 to the ghetto workers of Boston. That left the others with nothing to do but accept their various prizes: George F. Kennan for his Memoirs: 1925-1950, Edna and Howard Hong for their translation of Kierkegaard's Journals and Papers, and Publisher Cass Canfield, who accepted the National Book Award in fiction on be half of Thornton Wilder, author of The Eighth...
