Liberal Intervention. Speculating on what Keynes would have prescribed for the 1960s, Lekachman does not echo the fierce individualist from Cambridge, England, but the contemporary critic from Cambridge, Mass.-John Kenneth Galbraith. Faulting everything from "the looming menace of automation" to "the dubious or negative social value of advertising," Lekachman is angry with America's "frequently crude and crass material culture" and somehow concludes that the Great Society programs have "powerful tendencies to favor the prosperous...

...Answer. At their best, the new Czech films combine a zest for cinematic experimentation with a thematic audacity and wry humor that is surprising in a Communist culture.

He is executive committee chairman of the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges, vice president of the Association of American Universities. A former English professor, he headed Wayne University, served at N.Y.U. before going to Illinois in 1955.

...good as God intended him, that six heads of state were assassinated for its sake in the 20 years before 1914. Not one could qualify as a tyrant. Their deaths were the gestures of desperate or deluded men to call attention to the Anarchist idea." As an individualist, she obviously feels a certain sympathy for the anarchist idea-"the last cry of individual man, the last movement among the masses on behalf of individual liberty, the last hope of living unregulated, the last fist shaken against the encroaching State before the State, the party, the union, the organization closed...
