...most original aspect of Jimmy Porter's character is his willingness to exploit emotions. He'll do anything say anything, to provoke his wife or his mistress or his pal to a strong response. So he burns people with irons and brags about old mistresses in front of new ones. He plays the trumpet terribly and eternally. All so that someone will react with a hit or a kiss. Silberg missed that recklessness...
...cooperation, and the fulfillment of democracy at least as much as for the nationalization of the means of production. (Such a view) confuses socialism, which was and is a democratic program for a collectivist age, with collectivism itself." Communism, notes Harrington, propagandizes for the same confusion in order to exploit the appeal of socialist ideals. There is no reason for Ec 1 to engage in the same over-simplification. It would be as if Hitler's Germany were chosen as a model for a modern, advanced capitalist economy. At the very least, the section from Grossman on democratic socialism, although...
...movements in Puerto Rico last week, Kerr argued that campus revolts have their own limitations and, even when successful, carry "the seeds of their own destruction." To have any effect, a revolt needs an issue to galvanize action, a leader to capitalize on that issue, and a tactic to exploit it.

All the while, the defense attorney struggles to get across the law's presumption that a man is innocent until he is proved guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. As Houston's Walter F. Walsh points out: "Many jurors will not and cannot, within the confines of conscience, find a defendant not guilty just because there...
Whatever the meat's merits, the industry owes its growth to Crab King Wakefield, 57, son of an Alaska salmonand-herring pioneer. Wakefield prepped at his father's processing plant at Port Wakefield on remote Afognak Island, struck out on his own after World War II to exploit the vast and virtually untouched king-crab grounds on Alaska's continental shelf. Though Japanese fleets had been catching and canning the huge crabs for years, Wakefield determined to try freezing the meat, on the theory that "when you are so far from the market that your costs...
