EACH YEAR the concept of outside grows more important. The professor, that pedant, may be outside. The graduate student section man, perhaps stuffier still, who wants to grow up to be that professor--he's an outsider. That fellow who studies Greek classics for what seems like 12 hours a day in October and November, and the thick-armed house football jock who says, half in jest, that everyone in SDS should be shot--they're outsiders. The SDSer who talks at you for hours without a smile when you wish he would go away--he becomes an outsider. Your...
...journal tries to represent as many disciplines as possible, providing, one of the founders wrote, "a medium through which leading scholars can address each other." The title itself refers to Daedalus, the Greek scientist who escaped from the labyrinth. The scholar, according to the comparison, has his own labyrinth to escape from. Daedalus gathers view-points from various faculties on questions that have long called for the collaboration of the whole academic community.

Both articles will be part of his forthcoming book, Nixon Agonistes, which he works on when he is not writing his book on Sophocles or teaching his graduate-school seminar at Johns Hopkins on the Greek dramatist.

I didn't intend to go into journalism until the Classics department said either stop moonlighting or lose your tenure...
...well-smashed plate expressed approval of the local bouzouki music as well as the manly exuberance of the thrower-presumably well-fueled on ouzo, the potent, anise-flavored Greek liqueur. Performers measured their success by the depth of the debris around their feet. Taverna owners loved it, since they were able to pay their bands by selling crockery to customers for up to a dollar a plate. In recent months, however, good times à la grecque were getting wilder than ever: bored with just breaking things-and perhaps bored, too, by the puritanical reign of Greece's military junta...
