...Library Journal called The Whole World Is Watching: A Young Man Looks at Youth's Dissent (New York: Viking Press, paper $1.25) by Mark Gerzon '70, "required reading for the over-thirty generation." The CRIMSON said, "Mark Gerzon's excursion into pop sociology reads like a work commissioned by Look Magazine... Reaching for the profound insight, Gerzon ends up only with a smug revision of Youth Wants to Know... Many of these ruminations on the younger generation make sense only from the myopic perspective of an Ivy League existence." Whether you will like the book depends. I guess, on which...
...impose opinions by votes. Issues are of such importance that they and they alone must be of overriding concern to everyone. Meanwhile the most extreme ofour radical groups-like similar groups in all periods of history-have latterly moved on to a position where they unashamedly work to stifle dissent among their own members-that is to say, they have become less and less participatory, rather, more and more coercive, increasingly disdaining the rights of minorities within or without, and again like extreme rightist groups of other ages, advancing in righteous indignation, have now turned increasingly to violence and force...

From the Back. Not everybody agrees on the importance of the works. Part of the dissent is ideological. The count's title was bestowed on him by Mussolini after he made a politic gift of several statues and other art objects to the Castel Sant' Angelo in Rome. Part is sheer Italian snobbery. Contini-Bonacossi was the son of peasants, who made his fortune in South America by methods that are still muffled in obscurity. When he returned to Florence, he set himself up as an art dealer and put his collection together between...
...fatal blow in 1934, when Clark Gable stripped off his shirt in It Happened One Night to reveal only a bare chest underneath. Suddenly this summer, the undershirt is very much back in-but not as an undergarment. Violently colored and decorated with cartoon characters (Mickey Mouse), symbols of dissent (a marijuana plant) or simple slogans (Fly the Friendly Skies of Cambodia), the shirts are a bright new trend for the kids-and the Over-30s too. Much more than other clothing, they are designed to convey the wearer's feelings. Hearts on sleeves are no longer necessary...
