Unvarnished is hardly the word for Andrew T. Weil's extensive layman's guide to the Harvard Crimson. Although he most certainly is correct to say the Crimson is in flux, I question that he stands far enough from the maelstrom to forecast the flood's direction. And even if he were right about the passing of a golden age into something more serious and plodding, I am not so sure it would last. After all, the Crimson has always survived and benefited from both types, the Cleveland Amorys and the Anthony Lewises. Besides which Mr. Weil will have...
...college which is strongly opposed to mass-production methods of education" (p. 24). One might more fully explain the meaning of such sentences as,"...there are in some fields a number of courses with 50 to 100 or more..." (p. 25), and altogether strive to give a more correct view of the College.

...does talk about the role of the United States in Castro's turn to Communism and decides it was very small. This conclusion may be correct, but it is not too convincing, since Draper reaches it by slighting Cuban nationalism and America antagonism. Draper clarifies the extent of United States aid to Batista and touches upon the effect which this and American actions over the years have had on Cuban attitudes toward the "Yanquis." Yet, he ignores anti-American nationalism when analyzing Castro's relations with this country. He sees the famous visit and aid dispute, for instance, solely...
