They report that "the work ethic which stands at the core of the Harvard culture attacks him (the preppie) at the level of his basic beliefs, way of life, and orientation toward being and doing." The "warm, spontaneous, expressive hackers" are pressured to become "unnaturally constrained and hard-working grinds...

Some progressive church thinkers now advocate a "new morality" to take account of these facts of life.

Its ethic had elements of both-plus, at that time in the 1920s, the "shrill, maniacal lynch law" of the smugly righteous ladies in their long, black, chin-high dresses.

For 26 years, until her own death in 1956, Frieda loyally supported the image of Lawrence as the ultimate male. But all the while she was writing an extensive fictionalized memoir. In this book, Professor E. W. Tedlock Jr. of the University of New Mexico has tried to patch together her fragmentary memoir into...
