DEAN FOX'S decision to reduce the number of House dining halls serving full breakfasts in order to facilitate the opening of the Freshman Union on weekends reveals a disturbing disregard for the overwhelming student and worker opposition to the proposal. By failing to consult the Committee on Houses and Undergraduate Life about the proposed change Fox once more displayed his contempt for the proper democratic channels of University decision-making...
...Papa Hemingway, had successfully sued Doubleday & Co. for publishing Spanish Author José Luis Castillo-Puche's opinion in yet another Hemingway memoir that Hotchner was a "toady," a "hypocrite" and an "exploiter" of Hemingway's friendship. But because Hotchner and his lawyers failed to prove "reckless disregard for the truth" on the part of Doubleday, Judge Lumbard reversed the pro-Hotchner decision. Publishers, the judge continued, cannot self-censor every opinion expressed in their books; if they did, free speech would vanish. Hotchner, in Paris to write another book, greeted the news of the court...
Even worse than Rosovsky's disregard for student needs in the substance of his plan is his concern only for the outward appearance of student consultation in the proposal and its eventual implementation.

A realistic novel would read like Joseph Heller's Something Happened, which takes incredible patience...
...production, catharsis cannot occur in the show. Unlike Sophocles's creation, Antigona is not denying societal obligations to hold supreme her familial responsibilities. The Greek Antigone refused to acknowledge that there might be political consequences to her actions. The Latin American Antigona makes a political statement. Antigone acts in disregard of the state; Antigona acts to change it. Calling Creon by his name and not his title, she refuses to admit that the State might be embodied in one man rather than in the relationship between men. Antigona insists on fighting fear, the "putrid peace," and refuses to accept...
