...Barbarians. The President himself set the tone of response last week. Speaking before the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, he declared: "There can be no compromise with lawlessness and no surrender to force if free education is to survive in the U.S. It is time for faculties, boards of trustees and school administrators to have the backbone to stand up against this kind of situation." In May 1 Law Day speeches, other Administration officials echoed Nixon, calling student rebels "ideological criminals" and "new barbarians." Said Attorney General John Mitchell: "The time has come for an end to patience. I call...
...Chamber Piece for four players by John Stewart is an examples of the quasi-Schonbergian writing which seems to spring eternal in student pieces like the waters of Lethe. The irrepressible antiquarianism of this style is characterized by self-conscious alternation of techniques, little rhythmic interest, and no intensity of construction. It fails to explore the subtler sound properties and combinations of the instruments, resulting in tedious, rhetorical pointillism.

But the next night, in the privacy of her 22nd-birthday dinner, she was wistful about the loss of her days of innocence as a student protester in blue jeans and bulky sweater. "I believe standing for this Parliament...
...ones call it "instant nostalgia," but others insist that it's just junk. The quest for the artifacts of yesteryear, which has been indulged in by many Americans for years, has now reached epidemic proportions. Behold! A hot-air grate, raised on a walnut stand, becomes "sculpture." A chamber pot leaves its place under the bed and appears-lo!-as a soup tureen. Fortunate is the man who inherits a 1912 Corona typewriter or an Atwater-Kent radio in plywood Gothic style. They are also lucky who have-squirreled away somewhere-cast-iron toys, lead molds, bubble-gum machines...
