...into the course, except in derogatory terms. In Samuelson's "Economics," basic reading for Ec 1, Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich A. Hayek are relegated to two brief footnotes each (Yes indeed, who are they?). Wilhelm Roepke isn't even mentioned. In one of the sections, Henry Hazlitt was denounced as representative of the most "reactionary" economic views today, fortunately limited only to a "fringe" group. There is practically no analysis this year of Adam Smith, Spencer, Alfred Marshall, W.G. Sumner or Bastiat. This situation is deplorable as the course is recommended to non-Economics concentrators and is required...
...Children. Says Wyatt Earp Producer Robert Sisk: "Earp gets slapped down occasionally. He's a very human person." As its bible for Frederick Hazlitt Brerinan's scripts, the Earp show uses Stuart N. Lake's biography, whose critics may have nicked it (said one: "Fictionalized glorification of a tinhorn outlaw") but have riot killed it as a major sourcebook for Westerns since 1931.

...circle seemed to be his sister Dorothy . . . So, recently, I at last got hold of Professor de Selincourt's fine edition of her Journals. They led me to his life of Dorothy Wordsworth, to Margoliouth's Wordsworth and Coleridge, back with a new eye to Hazlitt's My First Acquaintance with Poets, to De Quincey . . . The advantage of reading of this kind is that it takes you through life continually opening up new vistas of old country, slowly filling in a pattern of memories and emotions and associations such as no strictly formalized reading can give...
