...himself a historian, it is not truly history, for the events of Nov. 22, 1963, are still too recent and Manchester's emotional trauma much too evident. Although he rather pretentiously alludes to his own gargantuan labors with Samuel Butler's classic line, "Poets by their sufferings grow," Manchester's writing falls far short not only of poetry but often of good prose. But all this is rendered comparatively irrelevant by his basic achievement, which was to assemble an overwhelming mass of detail-so much detail that the story becomes larger than life or death...
...that, most East German youths remain ideologically uncommitted; Ulbricht has not managed to produce any Red Guards. They want to save up for a motorbike, grow mini-Beatle haircuts and twist to Western rock-'n'-roll tunes. They resent East Germany's enforced isolation, which denies them the chance to read almost all West German writers and even cuts off the flow of literature from such slightly more liberal Communist regimes as those in Czechoslovakia and Poland.

Bundy also favored more federal assistance to higher education, saying that it is "good, and needed-and should grow" from last year's total of $4 billion. He sees the Ford Foundation's own role as that of an experimenter, innovator and catalyst, doing what others are not equipped to do. Foundations, says Bundy, should "search for leverage in which national resources can be more effectively put to work on a problem." One new area of experimentation under study at Ford is a long-term program to reform graduate education, involving the ten "pacesetting" universities that award...
...Raoul"), but makes telling use of the author's dry Irish drolleries ("weather as uncertain as a child's bottom"). He also gets some gross guffaws with Joyce's dirty jokes, among them Molly's assertion that oral sex practices can cause a woman to grow a mustache. As for the people who read the roles, most of them are recruited from the Abbey Theater, and they ring true as Irish shillings-particularly Actor O'Shea, whose Bloom is an ironic portrait of a man who doesn't quite know his place but continually...
