...Threepenny Opera has only two more nights of performances before it leaves the Loeb to make way for the Summer School Repertory Theater's next production, Odets's Awake and Sing! One of those faceless people in the Harvard bureaucracy sent The Crimson an anonymous note pointing out that it was "bullshit", to say that the local production of the Brecht-Weill play drew unanimous praise. That's probably true, but it is also probably true that our correspondents' mother wears army boots. In any case, the show at the Loeb is undeniably excellent and it would be a shame...
Acting to maintain the President's momentum, his aides lashed out at Chairman Peter Rodino and his committee. Patrick Buchanan, Nixon's special consultant and once a wily practitioner of the anonymous news leak, assailed the "nameless, faceless character assassins on the House Judiciary Committee."

The Faculty, for the most part, is a model of detached, valueless celebrities subscribing tenaciously to the criteria of reputation. Economic calculations and salary substitute for institutional loyalty and indicate achievement. There is little significant discussion of personal philosophy giving meaning to life, or informing judgment. Instead only...
...there is any hope for Europe's speaking with a strong and effective voice in the world, it can only be in the political form advocated by France: a compact between the states, not some faceless amalgam of regions governed by a parliamentary regime of bankrupt political parties, speaking Esperanto and cast adrift from their rich cultural and intellectual heritages...
