...rehashing this standard line in their self-congratulatory editorial of Monday morning, editors Antony Blinken and Errol Louis have displayed an annoying misconception about the purpose of The Crimson. I do not mean to suggest The Crimson tends to hold incorrect, antagonistic, unrepresentative views. While The Crimson tends to reflect my own views, it need not (as so many, like our friends at the Salient, suggest) represent a cross-section of the campus. And The Crimson clearly recognizes its 'best'--Harvard, Cambridge, and academics--and covers it very well. But the editors are indulging in wishful thinking if they believe...
...writing in reference to Errol Louis' "expose" on Gandhi. I cannot help admiring Mr. Louis good intentions in spreading the truth about Gandhi but some of the points he makes need to be commented upon. No one denies that the movie glosses over Gandhi's life, least of all the Indians, but his implication that the movie is simply a piece of political propaganda by the Indian Government is ludicrous as is the notion of Richard Attenborough being an Indian "agent" hired to defame Jinnah. The partial funding of the film by the government was a profitable financial investment...
With the loss of Doonesbury, the reasons for reading The Crimson in the morning seemed to have withered to none. But leave it to the brilliant editorial staff (in the guise of Errol T. Louis) to bring back another Crimson tradition which appeared to be dying out with the graduation of "Red Bill"--the infuriating, nonsensical, and generally banal leftist editorial...
Spindly, pallid, shrewd, vulnerable and yet rather grand, he appears at his sweetly domineering best in My Favorite Year (1954, by the way). The role is that of an Errol Flynn-like movie star named Alan Swann whose swash has buckled to the point where the IRS is forcing him to choose between deportation and a back-tax-paying appearance on a TV comedy program. This show bears a more than coincidental resemblance to Sid Caesar's old Your Show of Shows. The perils it presents to a man whose joints have been vulcanized by excesses of meaningful booze...
...theatrical temptation of make-believe. Yet the accumulated mountain of star lore certainly tells more than enough about what Hollywood stars are actually like. The Secret Life of Tyrone Power depicts that virile swashbuckler as bisexual. In The Untold Story, Charles Higham tries to make a case that Errol Flynn was also sexually ambivalent-and argues, not quite convincingly, that Flynn was a Nazi agent of some sort. In This Life, Sidney Poitier confesses to catching an adolescent case of gonorrhea, and in Please Don't Shoot My Dog, Jackie Cooper claims to have been the teen-age lover...
