...Syrian-backed Saiqa (about 2,000 members, including 1,000 fighters). Opposing them are such "rejection front" groups as George Habash's Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (estimated membership: 3,500), the P.F.L.P.-General Command, led by former Syrian Army Captain Ahmed Jebreel (150 hard-core guerrillas) and the Iraqi-backed Arab Liberation Front (about 100 members...
...some ways, Yo Yo's success is tangential to the real core of things here--it's hard to imagine, for example, that anything he writes in his Film and Anthropology blue book will much matter to him. That seems to be true of many people who find instant success outside Harvard's portals. Shep Messing may be an extreme example. By senior year, Shep says, he was arriving at Harvard every Monday and taking off again Thursday for a soccer game in Paris or Mexico.

Will's outlook is, in his view, fundamentally different from that of Goldwater; he contends that "the core of liberalism is a certain optimism, and the core of a proper conservatism is a certain Augustinian pessimism. Nothing seems to me more demonstrably untrue--demonstrable from the received experience of the race that we call history--than the optimism that pervades such enjoyable texts as Mill's On Liberty and Milton's Areopagitica--that is, if you just let truth and falsehood fight, falsehood will be beaten."

Indictments in the case, he added, could be delivered this month. Said he: "The closer I get to the hard core-and I tell you that I am close, closer than I have ever been-the greater the abuse...
...overtones were. They provided a rationalization for devoting an evening to a dirty book and for discussing it openly in mixed company. They do pose a serious problem, however, for those who adapted the novel into the movie. The film makers are not aiming at the mostly male, hard-core market but at the bigger crowd of couples who think of themselves as sexually liberated. At heart these folks are romantics, and to them sex, even when expressed through the use of branding irons, must be beautiful. This, of course, runs counter to the spirit of the novel, which insists...
