...more personal concerns. Young white activists of the '60s were chiefly concerned about injustices done to others. For Alpert, selflessness must go. As a radical feminist of the '70s, she seeks "an identity not with other people's oppression, but with my own, first and foremost...
...Government's foremost concern has always been alien involvement in national security. The Atomic Energy Commission, for example, cannot grant licenses to foreigners or foreign-controlled corporations for operating a nuclear reactor or for producing nuclear fuel. The Government also requires security clearance for any contractor or subcontractor dealing in classified projects. All directors and principal officers of a company doing such work must be investigated, and foreigners generally are not granted clearance. In effect, a company involved in sensitive Government business is permitted to have some foreign stockholders, but participation by aliens in management must be kept...
Today Igor ranks as the foremost harpsichordist of the day. In addition to his appearances with the Philharmonic and the Chicago Symphony this season, he will give 40 or so recitals across the U.S., arriving for each concert with his 10-ft.-long Rutkowski and Robinette harpsichord neatly bundled inside a Chevrolet Sportvan.

This one is on the Warren Commission, made by Mark Lane and the same Emilio De Antonio who made In The Year of the Pig and Milhous. At B.U.'s Sherman Auditorium Sunday night at 8 p.m. Lane will be there to show more footage and discuss...
...same impulse that led Lippmann to criticize public opinion's stereotypes, and to distrust crowds and disorderly masses of ordinary people generally, led him to write in 1914 of the need, first and foremost, for "exorcising of bogeys." It led him to write in 1920, as millions of people faced hunger, privation and a war that still smoldered, that "the real enemy is ignorance." It led him to reverse himself and accept the electrocution of Sacco and Vanzetti as soon as a commission headed by Harvard President A. Lawrence Lowell endorsed it. And four decades later, Lippmann's opposition...
