...direct (and therefore false, because unexamined) participation in "reality." He does what he can- he refines images and sounds as means of analyzing and coming to know reality, the way a philosopher might refine his terms or a physicist his instruments. Le Gai Savoir, as of 1968 Godard's furthest attempt, is consequently cut off from reality. There's no more going into people's homes with questions, no direct action or activism, no direct contact with reality for the characters. The images Leaud and Berto see are all second-hand; still photographs with handwriting predominate...
Troilus screams that the worth of Helen is infinite, which means indeterminate, capable of justifying the furthest thrill of insanity. He believes he is realistic when he calls for the preservation of "manhood and honor" by the vigorous prosecution of an irreversible war. That war is stark violence. Does this begin to sound compellingly relevant? As litility devours reason, the Renaissance heroic ideal of wise action becomes food for unheroic savagery. Troilus eats up reason in seeking honor as "the wide world's revenue." Hector dimly sees that appealing to infinite abstractions may insensibly transform public standards into an anarchy...

And theatres are basically grubby: the stage has got to be swept before rehearsals. This is what college productions lose; they have their teaches, and they have their actors, and very rarely...
...enthusiasm of their early career, which reached its peak with A Hard Day's Night, came the monumental Rubber Soul, an album on which they conquered the rhythm and blues structure and set themselves forever free. Their first reaction to this freedom was to push it to its furthest limits which they did in continuous experiment from "Strawberry Fields" to "I Am the Walrus." What we have been seeing ever since has been a retrenchment. The Beatles are back to being a standard rock band (drums, bass, guitar/piano) but the richness of their immediate background enables them to transform this...
...battle has been joined in microcosm among educational institutions and Antioch College in Ohio is the furthest along at proving that a radical conception of education, free from the artificial and corrupting constraints of traditional education, can be made to work successfully. As the following article points out there are problems yet to be resolved but Antioch was, and continues to be, a glorious experiment--one that must be made to redeem itself if it is to serve as a step on the way to constructing a just society. -- Editor...
