Gloom hung thick over the group of 100 "prominent intellectuals" assembled in Manhattan at a "Theater for Ideas." The question for discussion was "The End of the Rationalist Tradition?"-and the answer seemed obvious. Pronounced Poet Robert Lowell: "The world is absolutely out of control now, and it's not going to be saved by reason or unreason." Said Author Leslie Fiedler: "Reason, although dead, holds us with an embrace that looks like a lovers' embrace but turns out to be rigor mortis. Unless we're necrophiles, we'd better let go." Intoned Norman Mailer: "Somewhere...
Instant Hero. The end was a long and painful time coming. The problems really began during his first year in the major leagues; while chasing a fly ball in the second game of the 1951 World Series, he slipped and tore the ligaments in his right knee. This was the first of a plague of injuries that slowly but decisively broke him down. But Mickey did not break easy.

After all, he says, "Football players need speed, balance and coordination, and a hurdler has all of these." He might be right. Running Back Paul Robinson of the Cincinnati Bengals and Flanker Earl...
Only when student demands become arbitrary and unreasoning does Harvard pass judgment and reiterate the fundamental principles of academic freedom. The recent uproar over Planning 11-3B, subtitled "An End to Urban Violence" and offered by Visiting Professor Siegfried M. Breuning of M.I.T., is a good example. Contending that the course was designed simply to improve skills in repressing riots rather than to ameliorate the conditions that cause them, 85 black Harvard and Radcliffe students packed the classroom the first day the course met this semester and demanded its cancellation before it had even begun. Clearly intimidated, Breuning offered...
