UNFORTUNATELY, this explanation of the "female principle" does not appear until late in the Journal. Before it appears, the magazine seems to be a messy collage of radical cliches. Articles like "The Oppression of the Male Today" and "Contemporary Capitalism; Drag Queen Intellect" are bitter, weary laments against the system. Only later does one see that the problem is not the system so much as the absence of the female principle. There is the usual set of articles, too, that talk about how degrading the female role is, or about how women are not intellectually inferior ("The Slave's Stake...

...American official optimism. Years of miserable stalemate have been accompanied by overblown pronouncements from Saigon and Washington about how well the war was going. Credibility gapped in the Johnson Administration, when cant phrases like "turning the corner in Viet Nam" and "light at the end of the tunnel" became bitter jokes. In recent months, however, U.S. officials-backed by scattered reports from perennially skeptical journalists -have cautiously begun to spread word that the situation on the ground in Viet Nam looks better than it has at any time since the U.S. buildup began...

...stab-in-the-back explanation. The U.S. is certainly not headed in Viet Nam for any defeat remotely akin to Germany's humiliation in World War I, which the German generals blamed on treacherous politicians and civilian softness.

In fact, the U.S. military harbors a new, scarcely admitted optimism about the present battlefield situation in Viet...

While Ford minimized the political reasons behind his resignation yesterday, one section of his statement hit on the key to this changed relation. His reference to the "excessively glib and insufficiently examined rhetoric concerning confidence, authority, and legitimacy" was a clear allusion to often bitter Faculty meetings of last Spring and this Fall...

...Believer. An intense nationalist who had a Pan-Slavic fascination with Russia-one reason why his work is exceptionally popular in the Soviet Union -Janáček was a bitter atheist. "A church is concentrated death," he once said. "Tombs under the floor, bones on the altar, pictures that are nothing but torture and dying. Death and nothing but death. I don't want to have anything to do with it." Atheist or not, Janáček had a profoundly spiritual appreciation of the value of life. One of his most powerful compositions is the Slavonic Mass...
