...Mozart and "the glad fairyland of Moorish columns that seem to melt in air'' are contemporary because they express the golden flowering of two comparable cultures (Western and Middle Eastern). In Western culture (which Spengler regards as entirely separate from Greco-Roman), Cecil John Rhodes's campaign to exploit Africa is made equivalent to Caesar's foray into Gaul. Both mark the start of expansionist drives that Spengter sees as the beginning of the culture's final decline...
This is not to say that Harvard students laugh at anything at all. They do not, for instance, laugh at the Lampoon, and the 'Poonies have taken the hint and gone off to exploit the more responsive (and more lucrative) markets of women's magazines and rock and roll records. With these new imperialistic ventures, their weekly dinners, their memories of a Golden Age, and their ingenious persecutions of the well-bred young men who compete for editorial positions, Lampoon editors maintain a state of good humor beyond the wildest imaginings of their Harvard readership (if it still exists...
Leavitt's ingenuity hardly ends here, for his handling of the clowns shows how shrewdly he can exploit actors reacting not only to space but to each other. His crew of patches works together as if it had been training in vaudeville for years; maybe the mechanicals don't laugh hard enough at those gay old parochial Elizabethan jokes abous syphilis and sonnets, but their sense of timing and horseplay is just superb.

In its propaganda abroad, the Kremlin simply sneered at Europe's economic integration scheme as a plot by "monopoly capitalists" to perpetuate the enslavement of the working class and by "neocolonialists" to exploit the newly independent nations. But last week Moscow more openly recognized the Common Market for what it is: a grave threat to Communism. With Nikita Khrushchev smiling benevolently near by, Propagandist Leonid Ilyichev proclaimed from a Moscow platform that "integrated Europe" merely disguises the old capitalist rivalries: 'It represents...
...widening breach between Faculty and Administration The National Defense Education Act affidavit, the abortive Cheever Report, and two disorganized Faculty meetings devoted to Harvard's relation with the government have revealed inability to anticipate problems, unwillingness to cope directly with difficulties that emerge, desire to avoid rather than exploit the potentials of Federal aid, and, above all, basic failure to deal with Faculty opinion...
