...future, the technology-oriented prognosticators tend to see it coming up pretty much roses (TIME Essay, Feb. 25, 1966). But if scientists in their extrapolations tend toward euphoria, many of the humanities experts, in their cranky way, are not so sure. At least such is the drift of Daedalus, journal of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, which devotes its special summer issue to the subject "Toward the Year 2000: Work in Progress." For, as the Academy's Commission on the Year 2000, headed by Columbia Sociologist Daniel Bell, points out, along with increased affluence, greater population density...
...part of the director, like the shot in Sundays and Cybele where Hardy Kruger holds up a cocktail glass and we see the room through it as he turns. In Ulysses Strick establishes early such an extreme convention of point-of-view narrative that nothing subsequent seems gimmickry. Stephen Daedalus (Maurice Roeves) walks on the beach as we hear his voice speaking the "Ineluctable modality of the visible" interior monologue.

It has led him into liberal politics; he stumped last summer for Thomas Boylston Adams, Massachusetts peace candidate for the U.S. Senate. For seven years, Holton edited Daedalus, the publication of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences which grew under his direction into a widely praised and read journal. He is vice-chairman of the Faculty Committee on General Education and guided the $4.5 million federal program for science teaching called Harvard Project Physics...
...along the banks of the Charles River, where Jerome Wiesner, Thomas C. Schelling, Henry Kissinger and others worked out the strategy of equilibrium in the nuclear age. A series of seminars and study groups at the end of the fifties culminated in a highly influential paper by Wiesner in Daedalus magazine in the winter...
