Losses to Boston University and the evil Elis of New Haven burst that dream. A sloppy final win over the University of Connecticut did not let anyone forget that an inattentive defense had been another season-long Harvard flaw...
...Huntington stated that the purpose of the lecture series was to promote international harmony and peace. Those questioners who were allowed to speak made rather timid objections, but one did manage to question the wisdom of supporting repressive dictatorships in opposing Communism. In his answer, Brzezinski exposed a crucial flaw in his theory: he stated that it does not really matter what happens to the people of Pakistan, as long as the structure of anti-Communist alliances is strong...
...second flaw in the euphoric confidence of today's art traders is a matter of historical myopia. How wonderful, we are told, that all things rise in price, as though in some universal resurrection and canonization of the dead. Twenty years ago, you might not have got $1,000 for the Pre-Raphaelite painting that now fetches $100,000. The $30,000 Tiffany lamp was not worth $3,000, and so on. One is left with the impression-indeed it is cultivated assiduously by the largest gaggle of public relations people ever to batten on the flank of culture...

For them, the flaw in the anointment is the lack of time for organizing across the country. Others complain the party was unilaterally set up by a few wealthy liberals who are taking a "top-down" approach in general. But co-chair Harriet Barlow says the "organizing of the party is entirely open." The party will nominate the presidential candidate at a convention next March. The strategy now is to make a splash in the press with the presidential...
