Last week, after a ten-day investigation, the Denver Post not only exposed Newton and his sidekick as phony experts; it also dug up enough evidence to arrest Newton and a man the paper said was his Dr. Gee, Leo Ge Bauer, operator of a small electrical manufacturing shop in Phoenix, Ariz. The charge: Newton and Ge Bauer had fleeced a wealthy rancher out of $34,000 with another "scientific" discovery, a machine that could locate oil or water underground...

COMMENTS: This course suffers from the basic problem of all elementary GE courses, to wit, that it must try to give the student a technique of analysis within its field without being able to delve too deeply into the field itself. Within this limitation, however, this course was quite well received by '55, which felt that it had received some basic understanding of the techniques of the social sciences from...

Last week existentialism took its ultimate step to solid respectability.

...Collège (founded in 1530 by François I) is something like the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton: its members do not have to bother with students or lectures; they get paid (about $5,000 a year) to sit and think. This Merleau-Ponty is eminently well qualified to do. A shy, retiring type, less noticed than his flashier school chum, he has been writing heavy technical works on philosophy ( The Structure of Behavior, The Phenomenology of Perception). In the existentialist cafés, Merleau-Ponty's appointment was greeted with dismay, "Ça alors," protested...
