Sollows came up with 41 saves in the contest, allowing only a goal to Gene Purdy 46 seconds into the game and to Dave Bell at 6:21 of the second. Both of those goals came on rare defense lapses by Dartmouth...
...long as America experienced massive and uninterrupted economic growth, Bell's argument implies, hedonistic self-interest could be bought off. There was enough surplus wealth created by the economic system that capitalists could enjoy dividends and workers pay raises; similarly, "special interests," like farmers and government workers, could have subsidies and increasing absolute shares of national income. In this way, hedonism, the villain of Bell's analysis, was defused as a political danger and displaced into the harmless arena of culture, which it has dominated since the late 19th century. The anti-capitalism of American avant-garde artists, writers, intellectuals...
...reasons having to do with foreign competition, the limits of growth, and the practical impossibility of raising the productivity of the growing white-collar sector of the economy, the days of massive economic growth are over, according to Bell. Bell and his colleagues fear that at this historical stage the public will run wild: Hateful of sacrifice for the public good, every interest group will demand its accustomed larger share of a non-expanding pie, causing disillusion, further inflation and possible class conflict (which translates into "chaos" for most of the Public Interest theorists). In an economy which...
...rest of the Public Interest group is, on the whole, more frightened and frightening in their analyses than Bell. R. Nisbet decries the excess of democracy which has hamstrung government and, citing Tocqueville, identifies the current political threat as the "tyranny of the majority." He draws a distinction between public opinion and popular opinion, praising the former as something more than the mere "whole of a majority of actual, living voters." Valid democracy is "historic, tradition-anchored and 'corporate'." Sounding like a Prussian Junker, Nisbet, a genteel tenured member of the Columbia faculty, identifies perhaps his greatest fear...
...early 20s--as the parties have done in the past. Lipset's position is that any type of organized political outrage--even if issuing from the horror of mass murder by one's government in Southeast Asia--makes public administration impossible. One cornerstone of the new "liberal" outlook, as Bell says, is that all issues must be negotiated: "Dissident pragmatism," even opportunism, must replace coherent and "ideological" opposition...
