...most efficient way for ROTC to fight the movement to take away its academic credit is to liberalize its curriculum. Instead of asking faculties to accredit military courses, in fact, the Pentagon plans to accredit more academic courses for ROTC, such as economics, psychology and political science. Purely soldierly skills may increasingly be taught at summer camps rather than on campuses. The problem, though, is whether such compromises will satisfy the ROTC's fervent critics. The trouble is that more and more campus idealists seem to view all armies as evil, including armies that defend free societies...
...succeeded most magnificently in Excavation, a strangely tawdry yet luminous 6-ft. by 8-ft. canvas completed at the culmination of the cycle in 1950. Why it is called Excavation is a mystery that remains with De Kooning. In fact, it resembles little except perhaps a crackling bonfire, where visions of possible nymphs and improbable satyrs gyre in the obscuring smoke. But it delves profoundly into method, its seething forms eluding both definition and restriction.

Their art was so prolific, in fact, that for years nobody paid much attention to the artistic quality of their products...
...Today many observers believe that their long domination is at an end. A vastly different and more anxious time has bred problems-and demanded solutions-that Freud never envisioned and that analysis was not designed to treat. The field of nonanalytic psychiatry has grown enormously in recent years-a fact that does not so much mean that psychoanalysis has lost ground as that its competitors have gained. Many younger psychiatrists, moreover, are displaying an increasing skepticism about the doctrines and techniques of orthodox analysis. Says British Psychologist H. J. Eysenck: "It has nothing to say to us, and there...
