...doubt it is all too easy for students to latch on to a certain philosophy and use it as their panacea. Too often this philosophy becomes dogma, blinds its proponents to other viewpoints, and leads them to the all or nothing stage. It is then that the intellectual process breaks down, and a meaningful and productive interplay of ideas, which is so desperately needed now, ceases. I can only hope that both students and administrators will never be afraid to open themselves continually to self-doubt and self-questioning-to break the gel that means stagnation and, ultimately, failure...
...Michelangelo. Illiterate and indigent, the men (Albert Juross and Marino Mase) listen slack-jawed as two soldiers (carabiniers) try to entice them into fighting in the King's army, offering a catalogue of the loot and license the recruits will enjoy: cattle, Maseratis, naked girls, the opportunity to break children's arms and inform on innocents.

Rumor has it that he was trying to break his recording contract with Columbia because he had wanted the two records of Blonde on Blonde to be released individually instead of in a package. He lived in Woodstock, New York, making a new film and editing one that had already been shot. He was reworking a book...
Dave Pottetti, who shaved 20 full seconds off the freshman two-mile record with a blistering 9:05 clocking against Yale, will have his final chance of the season to break the varsity standard of 8:48.8, set by Doug Hardin last spring...
