...national power, the fundamental cause will be the serious erosion of the Christian Democrats in the modern Italy that they very largely created. Today the party is maligned and ridiculed as never before-and from every corner of Italian society. Urban youths rail against it as sclerotic and establishmentarian. Women, swept up in a drive for legal abortion and other rights, have turned away from it as unresponsive to their needs. Middle-class Italians, once the party's backbone, grumble about its ineffectiveness and vulnerability to scandal and corruption. Italian editorial writers ceaselessly dissect the party's "crisis...
...suggesting that they ask their husbands if they or any colleagues have been involved in criminal activity. To 1,000 wives of the corporate creme de la creme, tape cassettes have also been mailed. These tapes carry the voice of PBC Founder Jeremy Rifkin, 32, a Harvard-educated anti-establishmentarian. "Would your husband inform the authorities if he were aware of illegal conduct among friends and associates?" asks Rifkin. "Would you inform the authorities if you uncovered such information?

...Harvard Square resident, a fairly recent grad, and not quite an establishmentarian yet. Howeveh, I was a little put off at your treatment of my ex-landlord Richard Dow.

In wartime Washington, or postwar Forest Hills, or more recently in establishmentarian, suburban Rye, N.Y., she was little more than part of the background?not spectacular, not social, not smart?and only dimly remembered by her neighbors. Then, about a year ago, as the wife of the U.S. Attorney General, she told a TV reporter that the November peace demonstration in Washington reminded her husband of a Russian revolution. That indiscretion made her a nine-day wonder. Instead of fading, however, the wonder has grown. This month...
...Nieman Fellows were not long in discovering that only the most Establishmentarian of faculty members or newspaper executives appeared at our official seminars. We were supplied no students, no blacks, no national politicians, no literary stars, no one likely to make waves-not even the most celebrated of Harvard's faculty lights. Our immediate predecessors-the Nieman class of 1968-69-had rebelled against such intellectual pabulum. In their case, the Nieman Curator (a former editorial page editor of the late New York Herald-Tribune, and a man of humorless mien) had proved so unyielding they were obliged to fund...
