Although Lionel Trilling's third collection of essay is, in deed, a gathering of fugitive pieces with little collective raison d'etre except the profits which he and the Beacon Press will reap from bringing them to a new audience, nevertheless they display Trilling as a man of letters and a critical influence, perhaps more clearly than any of his previous collections. Even in the pieces which can only be read intelligently when the reader knows the subject matter, the reader discovers a critic of remarkable integrity and perception. In most of the collection, moreover, the subject matter, the reader...
...university bells gave the heavy-handed cops the excuse they needed. A police riot squad, backed by a fire-department engine squirting dye-stained water, charged into a group of 200 students in the College of Arts and Letters.

Saudi Arabia's King Saud sent Nasser a personal message: "I am with Egypt with all I possess." Jordan's young King Hussein cabled that Nasser's victories must bring "Arabism's hopeful tomorrow when our flag will...
...statement of a Catholic position that is puzzling to most Protestants and some Roman Catholics. Wrote the Very Rev. Francis J. Connell: "According to the ideas of 'intercredal fellowship and brotherhood' current in the United States, and accepted by many Catholics, the Catholic organization performed a commendable deed. [But] some scandal was surely present in the fostering of the erroneous belief that all religions are good and should be aided.
