...pleasant buzz at the French embassy party in Vientiane, Laos. That is, until U.S. Ambassador William H. Sullivan, 45, strolled up to a group of American pacifists, who had stopped long enough to wet their whistles before flying on to Hanoi. At the sight of Sullivan, U.C.L.A. Professor Franz Schurmann, 41, reelingly announced: "I'm a subversive." "I hope you enjoy your adolescent behavior," snapped the ambassador. "Say 'adolescent' again and I'll fight you!" roared Schurmann and put up his fists. It got no further, of course, as embassy aides and Novelist Mary McCarthy...
...when it is practiced by unswervingly Catholic psychiatrists. But Dr. Frankl's Jewishness is not held against him by Catholics as it was against Freud and Adler. In his system there is such a big place for religion that he is a favorite of Salzburg's Archbishop Franz Jachym, who endorses his writings. To the extent that the church accepts Frankl, the Freudians and Adlerians tend to reject him. And Frankl admits that logotherapy was at first attacked for confusing religion with psychiatry.

Hipster-Nihilist. The device that Fuentes uses to launch the novel is as old as Chaucer: a group on a pilgrimage-in this case, figurative rather than literal. It is Holy Week, and packed into a Volkswagen en route from Mexico City to Veracruz are Franz, a Sudeten German who once worked as an architect in a Nazi concentration camp; Isabel, his thrill-a-minute cutie; Javier, a middle-aged dud poet; and Elizabeth, his love-starved (as distinguished from sex-starved) wife. Though each is in search of an intensely personal salvation, each represents a familiar 20th century type...
Charles de Gaulle imperiously describes it as "a lien weighing heavily on our national patrimony." Britain's Prime Minister Harold Wilson calls it "industrial helotry." West Germany's Finance Minister Franz Josef Strauss uses the word Ausverkauf-meaning sellout. The U.S. Government has frowned on it as a plague on the balance of payments. No matter what it is called, the fact remains that one of the most significant developments of the post-World War II world is the great leap by U.S. corporations into overseas markets-whether by direct investment in plant and equipment or by acquisition...
...heart of the issue is three articles on radicalism. Allan Y. Graubard, a tutor in Social Studies, offers a 22-page de-bunking of Marcuse's One Dimensional Man; Franz Bloom '68 submits a review of Moore's Social Origins of Totalitarianism and Democracy, and Michael Walzer, Associate Professor of Government, writes on the Puritan interpretation of the Exodus. Several excellent essays on religious radicalism, three brief book reviews, and a few pages of generally laborious poetry complete the issue...
