Imperial Tourists EMPEROR Hirohito and Empress Nagako of Japan flew on to Copenhagen after their meeting with President Nixon in Anchorage last week, and began their seven-nation good-will tour of Europe in Denmark. Then it was Wednesday, and that must have been Belgium, where Hirohito signed the Livre d'Or at the unknown soldier's monument in Brussels. Hirohito was handed a ritual sword with which, according to custom, visiting dignitaries fan the eternal flame. Obviously unsure what he was supposed to do with the thing, Hirohito gave a military salute instead. When he visited Waterloo...
...racial prejudice, inadequate housing, poor schools and lack of jobs, which breed so much of the nation's violent crime. With its cultural gaps between white and black, poor and middle class and affluent, the U.S. has very special problems that do not afflict other countries-Sweden or Denmark, for instance-where prison life seems more civilized. The problems are further complicated by a widespread and partly plausible belief that all of the nation's crime and prison troubles result from some fundamental loss of discipline or morality in the society...
...harlot's life, the matter of how much varies as widely as how many. A former Miss Denmark who received $1,500 for one night's entertainment undoubtedly considered herself far removed from the black girls who charge $15 on the neon-lit streets of Boston's South End. One notable sniper at hypocrisy, George Bernard Shaw, was fascinated by this matter, and he is supposed to have asked a lady at dinner one night whether she would go to bed with him for ? 10,000. The lady hesitated but agreed, so Shaw asked if she would...
...still undisputed director. The institute reflects Bardin's own eclectic background. Born in the Ukraine, he emigrated to Palestine in 1919, founded a technical high school and the Haifa Nautical School, came to the U.S. for graduate study in education at Columbia University. On a visit to Denmark in 1930, Bardin learned how the Folk High Schools there in the 19th century effectively blocked Germanization by Bismarck's Prussia. They did so by emphasizing Danish folk culture and a love of working with the soil while maintaining a spirited intellectual atmosphere. Bardin appropriated the concept, reinforced it with...
...institute cannot claim sole credit for this kind of record among the graduates. Still, the Brandeis experience is beginning to inspire similar projects elsewhere. At least four other U.S. cities are planning their own versions of Brandeis, according to Bardin. A similar setup for European Jews-possibly in Denmark-is also contemplated, and even one in Israel. In Los Angeles, the Rev. James Jones, black minister of the Westminster Presbyterian Church, is searching out land and backers for a black Brandeis. He and other Bardin admirers think that the idea could be useful as well for Mexican Americans, Indians...
