DeRopp sees drugs as one way for the initiate to get the haziest sense of what the fourth room is about. He says that the psychedelics (among which he includes hashish) can offer very temporary and "cheap" self-transcendence. But the revelations of trips are subject to a law of diminishing returns. Ultimately, the drug experience wastefully "burns out the centers of spiritual energy," all of which must operate at full potency if the student aspires to enter the fourth room. DeRopp never really gets much more specific, which has caused some grumbling among heads who are open...
...Miami's International Airport, a stocky, white-haired man wearily faced newsmen. New York Lawyer James B. Donovan was just back from Havana, but he could offer only the haziest account of his effort to ransom 1,113 Cuban prisoners captured by Castro after the collapse of the Bay of Pigs invasion in April 1961. "The negotiations haven't broken down," said Donovan. "There are simply some points that must be resolved." He had made "concrete offers" to Castro, and "now we must await resolutions"-meaning wait for Castro's next move...
...statement that the Duke of York "is the one clearly comic personage" in the play is woefully to misread the role. York is not comic; he is piteous. At any rate Patrick Hines brings to York not an interpretation, but a dozen interpretations. I have not the haziest idea what sort of codger Hines takes York to be. And someone should inform Hines that, in Shakespeare, the word 'issue' is not a sneeze...
...painting as soon as he got his diploma. In 1905 he and three former fellow students set up a studio in an empty Dresden butcher shop, proclaimed themselves the leaders of a new movement that they called Die Brücke (The Bridge). The movement had only the haziest of programs: it simply wanted to attract "revolutionary and fermenting elements" who would build a kind of bridge into the future...
Perhaps because the co-authors collaborated by mail (Frank Jr. lives in Charleston, S.C., sister Ernestine in Manhasset, N.Y.), their product lacks unity and presents the reader with only the haziest notion about the chronology of the Gilbreth tribe's doings. Though father Gilbreth often sounds (and sounds off) like father Day, Cheaper by the Dozen lacks the literary merits of its wise, well-honed predecessor. Mother Gilbreth's firm character is made clear (she still lives in Montclair, runs her husband's business and was 1948's "Woman of the Year"). But the personalities...
