Nevertheless, Bok and Fox should go beyond their statements of last week. Although helpful in alerting students to offensive behavior, the public declarations do not explore why such attitudes exist, and how they might be changed. The University's implicit acceptance and subsidization of all male clubs--including the Pi Eta as well as nine final clubs--probably has something to do with it. Harvard currently offers the final clubs access to the steam heat system, centrex phones and alumni records. Such involvement with groups that, as a matter of policy, exclude women, can only be seen as an insult...
More dangerous than his jabs at Congressional democrats, however, is the assault on the very structure of American democracy implicit in Reagan's speech. Besides challenging the concept of separation of powers and the system of checks and balances. Reagan would suppress all public opposition to his policies for the sake of maintaining our credibility abroad. The President is right to underscore the potentially positive impact of outward unity in international negotiations, but he goes too far in asking for a blank check both from Congress and from the American public...
...yell and prepare to take a leap of faith: they have gone and made an utterly serious Tarzan movie and, believe it or not, it is rather good. Indeed, much of Greystoke is very good, a tender, thoughtful and pictorially beautiful working out of the themes that were implicit in Edgar Rice Burroughs' original conception, but which over 70 years of life in the Hollywood jungle have been choked off by the riotous, unchecked growth of weedy invention and seedy, B-picture convention...
...paint on the canvas looks sluggish and frozen, like cake icing. (In the early '60s, Morley did put the pigment on with icing nozzles.) Its dull turbulence parodies the violence implicit in expressionist paint handling. The heavy brush stroke is no longer an index of earnestness; it quotes strong feeling without necessarily endorsing it. Morley's blend of coolness and violence has some of the hypnotic impact of early Warhol. But it is far more complicated and nuanced, and it is free from overtones of chic...
Kurzman feels that there is a "Jewish taqiya" in force an implicit ban on criticism of Israeli policies within the Jewish community. He traces the absence of criticism to "worn out" excuses for Israeli policies that may have once been legitimate, but can no longer justify what he sees as whole slew of immoral actions by Israel. This argument is completely misconceived. The "Jewish taqiya" he describes does not exist. Anyone who has been to Israel would attest to the fact that government policy is constantly criticized by individuals and the press in the sharpest of terms. Israelis...
