...dedicated his network radio program to Harvard; The Crimson reviewed the new Advocate, and a headline proclaimed "Both of Agee's Contributions Draw High Praise," In October, 1930. The Crimson attacked Military Science courses, saying they had no place in a liberal curriculum, and they were intellectually shabby to boot. Carl Friedrich, then an assistants professor, assured Harvard that Fascism would never, take hold in Germany: "German Professor Certain that Article 48 will Prevent a German Mussolini." The Dean of Radcliffe refused to allow her students to take part in a Harvard production of Molnar's "Olympia", "the worst play...
...gone to the mountain to gather material for this week's cover story. Unexpectedly, he found himself an active participant-at 11,250 ft.-in one of the world's fastest-growing sports. Though first put on skis at the age of three, Prager had not set boot to binding for 26 years. His talks with Seibert provided all the inspiration he needed.

To call his performance antilife, when it is really an attempt to augment a medium that is in danger of stagnation, is to deny his innovative efforts, and is wildly paranoic to boot. Concern for society is one thing, witch hunting is another. Besides, Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention were performing almost precisely the same things almost four years ago. Zappa's atrocities, as they were called, included dismembering dolls, a particularly juicy interlude where a salami, attached to a guy wire...
