From our meager knowledge of socialist states in practice (quite apart from what Marxist theory predicts) and the dismal history of the Soviet Union in particular, it is likely that another stultifying bureaucracy and an intolerant, repressive system would emerge in this country. The problem of alienation from a society that is based on the dehumanizing principle of competition between humans will not automatically disappear in a state which places the worker's interests before those of other classes. In the Soviet Union in fact other classes have sprung up and this development is inevitable as long as there...
...most captivating, not always inaccurate, cultural history of the U.S.A., sometimes useful as a frame of reference, always in our minds. Our grasp of the twenties and thirties cannot be divorced from icons remembered from countless gangster films and screwball comedies--anymore than we know the old west apart from the one given us by John Ford. These films are our memories of American life styles and geographies instinctively accessible although they existed before we were born...
Aligned Policies. Apart from the bizarrely costumed and deliberately clownish yippies, a number of friendly witnesses appeared before the subcommittee. HUAC's research consultant, James Gallagher, said that the Chicago demonstrations during the week of the Democratic Convention were "in line with the policies of Hanoi, Peking and Moscow"-which must mark the first time in years that Moscow and Peking have lined up together. From Chicago itself came two members of the city's police intelligence unit. Police Sergeant Joseph Grubisic revealed that "captured documents" disclosed plans by the demonstrators to heckle the presidential candidates, harass voters...
...button-on-a-string. Versions of this simple plaything may be as old as the Pyramids. But that did not deter Kramer Designs of Royal Oak, Mich., from producing a pop copy with twin twirling plastic disks in psychedelic hues. When the string is pulled taut, the disks whirl apart, then clop together in mid-spin, sounding like a shark with loose plates chewing on an oyster. Op-Yop is its name. At $1 each, Kramer has sold 1,000,000 of them to date, confidently expects to sell another million by Christmas...
...between the Administration and the faculty as rival bodies with separate interests, for it would seem to us that on educational questions the two should be essentially one. The lack of a University Senate and the division of the professors and other teachers into three or four faculties--quite apart from the professional schools--where other universities have a single Faculty of Arts and Sciences, apparently discourages faculty participation in the formulation of University policy and the improvement of student life. The central Administration to which the full burden of the quality of student life is left is not equipped...
