...central thesis of General Education. This is simply that in the thought and action of great men lies that "Western Tradition" which should reach every student in explicit fashion. By permitting the scrupulously tended GE courses to become another option of the undergraduate shopping for intellectual condiment, the underlying crucial purpose will slip away from sight. Similarly, the poll results show that an overwhelming number of men now in the courses feel increased enrollment in the section meetings will drastically lower instruction value. Will not the jump in size which must accompany extension of the Program to the entire body...
...this picture is correct, then the U.S. and China will be poles apart for many a bitter, crucial year. Perhaps the best way to examine the picture is to examine Chen Li-fu. Perhaps he seems a villain not because he is one, but for two other reasons: 1) he is the Chinese whom Communists (and their U.S. friends) hate most, and 2) he symbolizes that side of China which is hardest for Americans to understand.

...vivid characterizations. Unfortunately, most of the characters in this film, although well acted, are close to cliche themselves. (One up for the British: most of the wives are plain women and most of the marriages are convincingly beautiful.) The second difficulty: it is all but impossible to communicate the crucial source of a war prisoner's suffering-monotony-without making the movie itself too monotonous to sit through. The makers of this film have not quite solved this dilemma. There is some pretty good suspense, some drama of a routine sort and a fair amount of corn. But life...
