...well the lost weeks after the triumph of 1948 when Truman went off to Key West and, in his absence, congressional leaders made bargains with interest groups which deprived him of control over his own legislative program. To his practical experience in government Neustadt added an acute and original approach to the theory of government organization. His interest in the facts rather than the forms of power had already done much to emancipate the study of public administration from its faith in organization charts as descriptions of operating reality. He had summed up his viewpoint in a searching essay...
...invented nuclear weapons now began to give hard thought to the idea, not of abolishing them at one stroke, but of regulating them in the interest of stability. Out of this discussion emerged a new approach to the arms race under the banner of 'arms control.' The thinking was particularly hard along the banks of the Charles River, where Jerome Wiesner, Thomas C. Schelling, Henry Kissinger and others worked out the strategy of equilibrium in the nuclear age. A series of seminars and study groups at the end of the fifties culminated in a highly influential paper by Wiesner...
...meantime, a new analysis of the aid problem was emerging from the universities and the foundations... As in the case of military strategy, the new approach was most fully explored along the banks of the Charles River.

They all, for example, had been exposed to Keynesianism in New Deal days.

Some universities still have to settle for what religion educators contemptuously call the Caprew (derived from Catholic-Protestant-Jew) approach: introductory courses about specific religions taught by ministers of these faiths. At the University of Texas, half a dozen courses are taught by local Bible instructors at student centers a couple of blocks off the campus. The courses are listed on the class schedule but not in the university catalogue: bewilderingly, they are acceptable for credit in the colleges of education and business administration, but not in engineering or pharmacy...
...approach is valid but Olivier overworks it, for his portrayal appears geared primarily to the task of impersonating a Negro. In his accomplished mimicry, there is often too much mammy singer, too little inner man. This lithe warrior defies tepid theatrical conventions, only to emerge as a modern stereotype, quick to violence and so infatuated with himself that his cue for murder seems to be wounded animal pride, not unhinging grief. He has size without tragic stature, brute strength and magnetism without "a constant, loving, noble nature." His ultimate downfall shrinks almost to the level of a squalid domestic intrigue...
