...Liberal Arts College," "ROTC and the US Armed Forces," "A Brief History of ROTC," "Army ROTC Enrollment at Harvard, 1968-69," a position paper by some ROTC cadets, and extract copies of the contract between Harvard and Army ROTC, the current program of instruction, and a revised curriculum concept...
Master Gill concludes that those involved in the sit-in "have attacked the concept of reasoned discussion on which this university is founded and for which it exists. In this instance, their offense against the laws of the university is even more deeply an offense against its spirit." Master Gill expresses a principle which finds violence and offense against the law detrimental to the university community and contrary to the basic precepts of Harvard.

Monstrous Metamorphosis. In Weekend, Jean-Luc Godard saw the end of the world as a vast traffic jam. Bergman's concept is less visual-and more chilling. His people never see history; like radiation, it destroys them without touching them. Jan and Eva become aliens in their own marriage. They rage against their cage and at each other. As Samuel Beckett puts it, "The mortal microcosm cannot forgive the relative immortality of the macrocosm. The whiskey bears a grudge against the decanter." Half from fear, half from the desire to have the child Jan cannot give her, Eva sleeps...
