...anything goes, eccentricity no longer stands out against any dominant "center." Since eccentricity is also relative to its place and time, rapid change now often turns it into conventional behavior. Only a few years ago, Longshoreman-Philosopher Eric Hoffer seemed eccentric indeed; now the young scorn him as an Establishmentarian.

There may be a great deal of latent opposition to Harvard's establishmentarian, title-laden choices for honorary degrees. But it's unlikely that the opposition will be voiced, because the degrees just aren't important enough to object to. If the Fellows want to beef up their Commencement party, why spoil their...
...distrust he successfully communicated to his ten children, not one of whom ever deviated from the conservative faith of the father or from his staunch Roman Catholicism.

With a typically British mixture of ineptness and guile, the seven men who still operate the Department in the drab house on Blackfriars' Road, jostle for position, portentously con "the Minister" for a bigger budget, extra limousines, higher status. And on Cambridge Circus, another...
