...training it seeks not to increase public participation, but to widen professional control to include academic faculties. This aim is unrealistic. The ultimate effect of making institutions as a whole responsible for teacher training is to increase the accountability to the public, whether by statute or custom. Before they accept the responsibility that Conant offers, therefore, colleges must ask if they are willing to submit their programs to public scrutiny. Rightly or wrongly, many faculties might reject the responsibility for training teachers if it meant accepting outside advice on how to go about...
Unhappily, because of the comprehensive nature of their reporting, Drew Associates had to agree to accept government censorship of the film. Top level conferences in the President's office are shown, but the soundtrack has been removed. This restriction seems strange since an uncensored version of the film was shown at the New York film festical and the scene in question seemed tame enough: Kennedy's congressional liaison, Larry O'Brien, warns that a televised address would endanger civil rights legislation, while the Attorney General passionately maintains that the President has a moral obligation to address the nation...

...last word uttered by Sidonie Gabrielle Colette on her deathbed in Paris in 1954 was "regarde." To her, it meant to look, feel, wonder, accept, live. For all her 81 years she obeyed that injunction with an immense, daylight sense of reality and a pagan delight in the sensuous experiences that delivered the world to her mind and to the blue note paper on which she recorded it. The Blue Lantern, written between 1946 and 1948 and now translated into English for the first time, is Colette's last major work-a moving but unsentimental record...
