WHEN TALCOTT PARSONS, Professor of Sociology Emeritus, died last week in Munich at the age of 76, an era in the history of sociology drew to a close.

...named Célimène, Molière pressed poetic comedy and satiric wit to the edge of tears. Le Misanthrope is his bittersweet masterpiece. In a comedy of manners, Alceste's notion of telling the truth himself on all occasions and correcting the chicanery of the age clearly marks him as a crackpot bound for grief. But as the play proceeds and the caesuras required of French classic verse occasionally become pregnant pauses, Molière manages to give his compulsive critic's obsession a touch of nobility...
