...Danbury, Conn., federal prison strode Parolee James J. Moran, 61, his red hair turned white after 10½ years, his 220-lb. frame scaled down to 190-and his lips still sealed. A protege of ex-New York City Mayor William O'Dwyer. Moran was nailed in 1951 as the ''guiding genius" in a $500,000-a-year shakedown racket of oil burner contractors. Bigger fish in the city administration were feeding on the take, but Moran, offered a break if he named names, scornfully replied: "I came into this world...
Chosen Identity. In one fictional fling, Baldwin has tried to unburden himself of all his feelings about racism and homosexuality, about the cacophony of despair and misunderstanding that he believes America to be. But in Another Country this is projected on a wholly inadequate fictional frame: six characters in search of love and self-knowledge in a Dostoevskian substratum of Greenwich Village.

...fundamental trouble is that thinking about General Education continues to identify the science major's education with learning techniques, and the humanist's education with seeing science in the broad intellectual frame of reference.

...more ambitious plans in mind. To replace the off-campus houses, which have been a drain on the College's financial resources for years, she proposed to build a House and solicited students' on how to construct it. The response came from campus dwellers who clung to the shaky frame houses and nothing could be better. Convinced at last that their day was over, them sadly joined in plans for on Garden St. to house 275 undergraduates and 25 faculty members. Somehow the builders will try to incorporate all the advantages of the campus house except the one that...
...amount of passivity on the part of the student; it tends to widen the gap between student and instructor; it tends to over-emphasize the position of one authority, and the student is in danger of coming out of the lecture of even an undogmatic professor in a dogmatic frame of mind. Moreover, it can be abused. A few lecturers are unprepared and disorganized. Some, with the power of hypnotic verbalization, manage to hold their audiences through sheer personality rather than because they have anything important to say. And an insecure professor with psychological problems can misuse the lecture...
