...Times's fastidious Gastronome Craig Claiborne, who dropped in a few times to see how the fare was faring under the new management of sometime Hotelman Claude Philippe. Aside from the prices ($173.90 for a relatively modest dinner for six) Claiborne sadly reported that "Le Pavilion does not exist in all its former grandeur." For one thing, he wrote, "the shrimp were tough, and so was the lobster in the bouillabaisse. The maitre d'hótel walked around with a red pencil sticking out of his breast pocket."

We feel now, however that while opportunities to do this kind of organizing still exist (and may, at the moment even be increasing), both the probable course of the war and the low level of personal commitment in the anti-war protest movement seriously threaten the growth of the kinds of political activity that will be crucial in the next year...
...McLuhan is a romantic, he ought to be an optimistic one, since he predicts that the electronic media will recreate the closed society. For centuries men grew more and more isolated, and the comfortable village, where privacy did not exist, seemed increasingly remote. When the villager learned to write he became an individual. He began to develop a private point of view. The world seemed to explode as the village learned of strange and unreachable people and places outside own circle...
