SATURDAY night 40-odd students, faculty and alumni of Yale sang of God, war, the Russian land, and love. The jingoism of some of the texts seemed a little ill-timed, but this apparently bothered the audience of Harvard academics not at all. The group's contagious enthusiasm and thoroughly convincing musicality brought the audience cheering and stamping to its feet...
...Tall Are You?" The 1952 presidential campaign marked Galbraith's first active involvement in politics. He authored Adlai Stevenson's Detroit La bor Day speech and shaped his economic policy from the campaign train. With somewhat less enthusiasm, he repeated the role in 1956. "Tragedy the second time is comedy," he notes wryly. Along with Schlesinger and Averell Harriman, he acted as Kennedy's liaison man with the Stevensonian liberal Establishment during the 1960 campaign, did the same for Bobby Kennedy during his 1964 Senate race in New York...

Occasionally, of course, a gifted student like Coppola will graduate to the ranks of Hollywood professionals. In the long run, though, the contemporary enthusiasm for student films is likely to turn out a far greater number of enlightened appreciators than new creators. That in itself could be a big boon to movies: whether cinema grows as an art form depends largely upon whether film-educated audiences demand better things...
