Soviet students, Azrael finds, are generally content. "Tourists who meet Russian youths on the street tend to get an exaggerated impression of discontent among the university students." He was struck by the large extent of "satisfaction, defined in a great variety of ways, among the Soviet student body...

Among the major colleges of the country, Harvard stands in splendid isolation as the only one which hands out food almost indefinitely to a student.

Complaints that complacency among the voters merely found reflection in Congress may perhaps be sufficient explanation, but the voters evidently were not complacent last fall. The appearance maybe that a prosperous America prefers immoblisme to dynamism. Professor Schlesinger may argue that liberalism is cyclical in this country but it had better find a solid...
