Levine fares immeasurably better. The two small canvasses, Nude Reclining and Two Politicians, show the painter at a maximum of cogency and sensitivity. The latter canvas happily succeeds more as a painterly statement than as a social comment. Its small size preserves at once its impact and its nuance. Advocacy can be carried off to advantage in the arts, but it has a way of corrupting all but the strongest. Some of Levine's much heralded larger canvases plead excessively where their business is to resolve. In this respect, a splendid containment and innate dignity comprise one major superiority...
...Walter Reuther's Economic Policy Committee: "An empty gesture." As advocates of more federal spending see it, the Administration's balanced budget is also an empty gesture. They argue that a deficit of a few billion dollars in the next fiscal year can have only a slight impact in a $475 billion-a-year economy. But as a symbol of a commitment to fight inflation, the attempt at a balanced budget is a highly important gesture.

He warmed to his work and his lively piano not only supported the choreography closely, but added much life to the show. The overture, while ably performed, did not have sufficient impact when performed on a single instrument...
Unfortunately, Caplow and McGee did not interview anyone who was actually looking for a job, so they can tell us nothing about the impact of recruiting policy on the educational process. As the book stands, it leaves us with the completely unjustifiable impression that academic life is a perpetual struggle for prestige. Yet it would be equally logical to suppose that because public opinion polls show that men choose their lawyers by inquiring among friends, lawyers are therefore consumed by an insatiable lust for popularity
