...City's old-style Democratic bosses had been first to pick up his cause. Somewhat reluctantly, the Liberal Party leaders endorsed him. Then, under a barrage of pressure from Bobby's friends, regular Democratic district leaders throughout the state surrendered in rapid succession. Finally, only one major bulwark still stood against the blitz: the state's most powerful Democrat, New York City's Mayor Robert Wagner. "Dazzling Magic." Last week the walls came tumbling down-and there stood Bob Wagner. There can be no question of Bob Kennedy's "personal eminence," said the mayor...

It is not our frowning battlements, our bristling seacoasts . . . Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as the heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere...
These critics see the general education program as the last bulwark sep- erating the College from being the first four years of the GSAS. They share the vision of the Redbook committee that the upper-level general education courses would offer support, encouragement, and staffing to interesting courses, experimental courses, which were not specialized enough to interest any single department. Where these critics differ from the Redbook committee is in their vision of the required lower-level courses as an opportunity to offer all this, plus a captive audience...
