...Kenneth Auchincloss, now the managing editor of Newsweek, Harvard infused its students with "a fierce independence." Guido Goldman, the director of Harvard's Center for European Studies, recalls "the pluralism of the experience." Peter Brooks, a professor of French and comparative literature at Yale, remembers "that certain elegance." Robert Watkins III, a lawyer in Washington, D.C., recalls alliteratively, "the supreme sense of self-confidence." And Missouri-born Perry Smith, then the president of the Lampoon and now an Episcopal priest, sums up his college experiences as if they were part of a fable: "Little midwestern boy came and made good...
...portraying itself as a reformist force in tune with postindustrial society. That campaign apparently backfired because it alienated people who preferred its role as a repository of traditional values.

The Christian Democrats have acquired a prestigious first-time candidate in Guido Carli, 69, who headed the powerful Bank of Italy for 16 years.

Said he: "I thought it would be better to jump in than stay on the sidelines criticizing." According to Carli, Italy faces perhaps the most serious troubles of all West European countries. He warned that unless the budget deficit, which is currently running at an annual rate of $60 billion, is reined in, "Italy will be prevented from participating in the recovery of other nations...
...exactly the pinnacle of his career, the 60th birthday party for former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger did turn out to be a summit of sorts. Invited by his onetime student, Harvard Lecturer Guido Goldman, to wine and dine the evening away at New York City's Pierre Hotel last week, the 400 guests included such luminaries as former West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, former President Gerald Ford, Secretary of State George Shultz and the widows of the Shah of Iran, Anwar Sadat, Lyndon Johnson and Nelson Rockefeller. Asked how he felt about getting older, Kissinger remained loyal...
