...same Faculty member says Stauder has felt the pressure "more than most Faculty members realize. Last spring. I had the feeling he was drinking a very heady brew, with the biggest course at Harvard. This fall he obviously has a lot of sympathy but SDS isn't pushing and 148-149 doesn't back him up." He concludes that Stauder "must feel more exposed. This fall, he's asking himself what kind of future...
...Cornell boys were there, and they clearly had no intention of leaving until they finished their goddamn brew, ferissake. So I felt that if I hung around for twenty minutes or so I'd get a good look at some of the slice-of-life people, that went to the agricultural school, in action. Getting involved rapidly in the atmosphere of the joint. I ripped off my tie, flipped a quarter in the juke box, and roared for a beer and something...
...Marx concocted a "total" theory, a consistent set of symbols, to explain the course of history, and he intended his theory to be swallowed whole.

Oddly enough, those who sampled the stuff swore it tasted exactly like ordinary...
...they do, as in the cases of Elliott Carter's Piano Concerto or Milton Babbitt's Relata II, they cause outbreaks of hysterical recrimination, especially in those citadels of analytical dross, The New York Times and The New Yorker. The modern composer faces an audience whose taste is a brew of remembrance and indigestion, appealing for Beethoven, Tchaikowsky, and Verdi and refusing to acknowledge the existence of post-war music. For most of these people "modern" music consists of The Firebird, La Mer, Bolero, the Rachmaminoff Piano Concertos, and Appalachian Spring...
