Crimson reporters can attest to the great reluctance that I have hitherto shown to add fuel to the dispute between Sociology and Social Studies. But Acting Sociology Department Chair Orlando Patterson's "commentary" does suggest that a few words--half in anger, half wracked with laughter--from a teacher with a foot in both camps may cast light on some of the issues involved...
...music and Satanism, as Cardinal O'Connor contended? Father Rento, the New Jersey expert, does not make such a claim. But he does provide carefully couched support for O'Connor's concern. Music, says the priest, "is one of the factors helping to create a climate in which the hitherto unthinkable becomes thinkable...
...absorbed Humboldt's ideas, acted on them and gave them pictorial form. In a sense he did indeed become, as the New York Times announced in 1863, "the artistic Humboldt of the New World," come to fulfill Humboldt's prophecy that "landscape painting will flourish with a new and hitherto unknown brilliancy when artists . . . shall be enabled, in the interior of continents, in the humid valleys of the tropical world, to seize with genuine freshness . . . on the true image of the varied forms of nature...

Churchill promptly ordered several retaliatory raids on Berlin. Hitler, unaware of his increasing success against the R.A.F. installations, made the mistake of ordering further retaliations against London. And so, while the R.A.F. won a vital reprieve, the citizens of London had to undergo the blitz, the greatest bombardment...
