...interpreting the escapades of Bill and Mary, reporters mistakenly portray the Harvard Business School as the root of all management evil. H.B.S. is an educational, not a correctional institution. The tactics used by Agee in the Bendix-Martin Marietta acquisition debacle bear little resemblance to what we are taught at Harvard. If some of the school's better-known graduates, like Cunningham and Agee, have acquired a reputation for backstabbing, they possessed the trait long before their arrival at Harvard...
...never practiced what he preached. As the personal acquaintance of twelve Presidents, Lippmann was the leading exemplar of what Columnist Colgman McCarthy calls "hobnobbery journalism." But he had become disillusioned in his 70s when Lyndon Johnson, with flattery and lies, with private lunches and birthday gifts, had tried to bear-hug Lippmann into supporting the Viet Nam War. "Every time I pull my chair nearer that guy," L.B.J. complained, "he pulls his chair farther away...
...letters such as these and through participation in meetings and peace rallies. As I said before, I will never be penalized by the financial aid office for my opposition to registration. I am not saying that I or other females should be penalized.

"Oh, what the heck, we won't have a war--it's only registration. Just register, there are too many problems...
Form has a way of decaying into formalism, especially when the original form was antiformalist. Nowadays Japanese department stores carry rows of cases displaying tea bowls and caddies; new ones-never mind the old, which may cost more than a suburban house-bear price tags of $15,000. If one suggests that this is steep for a new teacup, however dense with sabi and wabi it may be, one is told that such objects are signed on the box by a noted living tea master. This imprimatur, a fabulously profitable extension of Marcel Duchamp's solitary act of declaring...
This may seem like heavy freight for mere fashion to bear, but Japanese designers do not usually make the fussy Western distinction between craft and art. Issey Miyake talks about the "energy" of fabric and works with a bolt of cloth like a sculptor with clay, not molding it into a presketched design but draping the whole length over a body, drawing the shape of the final garment from the fabric itself as it works in easy collaboration with the body. Rei Kawakubo, the most austere and cerebral of these new designers, speaks intensely about "getting down to the essence...
