...Yorker), Hatch (Nation), Kauffmann (New Republic), and Sarris (Village Voice)--each have an axe to grind, and make no bones about grinding it. Kael has a perversely radical culture-consciousness, loving most those films which, rooted to a trashy crowd-pleasing base, manage to transcend it. Simon is a classicist, and treats film with the same stern regard as theater; his occasional fault is literary pretension. Hatch and Kauffmann retain the social concern of the more serious '50's liberals, while Sarris's devotion to the Great God Cinema is at least more passionate and entertaining than that...

The few who did seemed to be of a mind with the well-known and very conservative history professor who greeted with a silent scowl a picketer who attempted to explain her position to him, or the retired classicist who lectured the group on the "tragic mistake" they were making. The pickets succeeded, in the end, for Sioris cancelled his visit to Widener, and to the Faculty Club. But they have not received assurance, and assurance must be given, that Harvard will never repeat this insult to freedom...
...investigate the problem in 1945, became the paradigm for the re-evaluation of educational programs in high schools and colleges all over the country. The report, popularly known as the Redbook, was drawn up by a group of the finest minds in the country, including historian Paul Buck, classicist John Finley, biologist George Wald, poet I. A. Richards, former Radcliffe president W. K. Jordan, and the senior Arthur Schlesinger...
