...hardly of Harvard's doing must be mentioned. Around New England, sex is, as they say, pursued with a passion. Every weekend, Dartmouth boys, rubbers firmly in hand, hitch out of Hanover, while Yalies go off to visit their pill-swilling neighbors. Meanwhile, Wellesley girls, in tweed skirts and cloth coats, arrive in Harvard Square by the busload. Only Harvard men manage to sit relatively still. Of course, freshmen do tend to panic. For them, Radcliffe is out-at least until second semester, by which time most upperclassmen have warily dropped their all-too-serious Cliffies. Still, for most, Radcliffe...
...nation's efforts in capital investment wiped out by U.S. bombs. Consumer goods are in short supply, and quality has slipped. A thirsty Northerner, for instance, often must queue for two hours simply to quaff a glass of weak beer. Each adult is allowed a scant four yards of cloth annually. At an angry meeting of the United Women's Organization in Hanoi last spring, representatives criticized pointed or padded brassieres because it took too much time and, more important, too much fabric, to make them. The nation is barely self-sufficient in simple tools and basic agricultural machinery...

The series remarkably underscores the rock-bottom honesty that Whitman had observed. Eakins plainly was not inhibited, even by men of the cloth, in his relentless pursuit of pictorial truth. Though his portrayals are sympathetic, he uncovered strain, doubt, fear, pettiness and self-pity -qualities that belied the traditional view of the priesthood as a calling above and apart from everyday frustrations...
...anguished protest poem Howl ("I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness . . .") set the stage for the Beat scene. Since then, often unwashed yet somehow steeped in cleansing waves of culture, sometimes naked but never far removed from the whole cloth of bohemian and Brahman tradition, Allen Ginsberg has gained celebrity not only as a poet but as a practicing pansexualist and pioneer in psychedelia. He has also preached all manner of revolutionary activities that could lead to the overthrow of what he considers society's "hallucination" regarding money and power...
