...against education, and especially against the humanities where the gains are intangible, not measurable in economic or material terms. And if the maximum salaries of Faculty professors continue to rise, as they will if Harvard wants to continue to attract the best scholars, it looks as though a dark cloud hangs over the already mist-shrouded history of the Norton chair...
During his politicking back home in Massachusetts last week, Kennedy issued no press releases, made no major policy statements. His largest press conference was attended mainly by reporters from Newton North High School. The only national reporter who accompanied him was TIME'S Stanley Cloud. Kennedy told Cloud: "I'm not running for President, and I will not accept the nomination at a deadlocked convention. I don't think it will be deadlocked. There'll be a sifting out of the various candidates, and someone will win a first-ballot victory." Are any of the announced...
Last week Hewish's receipt of that award became embroiled in a bitter controversy. At a press conference at Montreal's McGill University, Britain's Sir Fred Hoyle, a noted astronomer, theoretician, science fiction writer (The Black Cloud) and scientific gadfly, had charged that Hewish "pinched" the prize for himself by failing to give Jocelyn Bell proper credit.

When Abbie labels Julius a "front man for the Wasp power elite," he bluntly expresses the "sociocultural wounds" that, Cuddihy says, Marx and Freud expressed only indirectly.

Similarly, he laments the vogue for Yiddish Storyteller Isaac Bashevis Singer on the dubious grounds...
These were mere irritations to Herzl. "A light fog is mounting around me," he noted in his diary, "which could become the cloud in which I walk." Yet, if his head was in the stratosphere, his feet remained on the boulevard. Mixing altruism and chutzpah, he gathered votaries wherever he spoke, and he spoke everywhere. His message was always the same: Jews will never be safe until they have a homeland of their own. By 1902 he had pledges of 3 million francs. He grandly talked of purchasing territory in Cyprus, even Uganda. But Israel remained his true destination...
