...distrustful and rebellious, and that some of us would like a revolution. For this society provides very few decent ways of growing up, and that is a very good sign that this is not a decent society. And as students on the left get older in America, I doubt very much if most of us will accept Dean Ford's definitions of maturity, especially if he bases it on something like "making the grade." Perhaps Dean Ford will then choose to call us immature. I for one am willing to take that risk...
...have a "monopoly on moral fervor or political ardor," but we were, it is true, the only group which chose to openly challenge the Faculty's monopoly on a decision whose consequences affect students. I do not doubt the Faculty's right to meet in private on certain questions, but when it comes to the decision-making process, the Faculty must guard against the tremendous power it has as a closed body. The relatively mild tactic we adopted was legitimate to question the faculty tradition of autonomy and isolation relative to issues today, and specifically ROTC...
...cannot consider the administration blameless in this matter. For six weeks a movement has been building. A petition supporting the SDS position circulated and accrued over 700 signatures, which makes me doubt that the Paine Hall group really represented the sentiments of a small, vocal group trying to intimidate the faculty.

...Gaulle promised France's restive students a voice in the administration of the universities and a complete overhaul of the archaic curriculum. Education Minister Edgar Faure has produced a reform law so vague that many educators doubt that it ever will be put into practice. The students remain angry and distrustful. Disturbances of varying intensity have erupted this fall at dozens of French universities and high schools. Last month, after riot police were stationed on the campus at Nanterre, where the spring disorders began, militant students pinned to their clothes the Star of David, just as the Jews...
...reporting and dramatic journalistic writing, Silence on Monte Sole is a professional success. Yet after the hundreds of dramatic reconstructions of the inhuman acts of World War II-acts whose memory is kept fresh by the knowledge of continuing inhumanity-the value of the genre itself is in doubt. The past 25 years have conclusively demonstrated that no reconstruction of human suffering, no matter how skillfully or compassionately done, can compare with the unadorned voices of the survivors, who, in autobiography and war-crimes testimony, told of their times in words born of the most painful silences...
