...couple of others, equally trite but true. But Kanin does such a good job of sugar-coating his didacticism that it usually remains palatable, even enjoyable. His "gems of wisdom" come in the rough, as drunken wisecracks or cute malapropisms ("This country belongs to the people who inhibit it,") and it is only in the final scene that the play seems to turn into a high school civics lesson...
...former President's case collapsed. But he also welcomed the sense of "excitement and peace" that followed the resignation. Why had he kept his silence during Nixon's last days? Said McLaughlin: "I did not want to say anything by way of a public defense that might inhibit him from recognizing that he should resign." There the maverick Jesuit was in agreement with Rome. Writing on Nixon's demise in L 'Osservatore della Domenica last week, Vatican Press Officer Federico Alessandrini concluded that the Watergate case had raised "a constitutional issue that left no choice open...

...have been negotiated with President Bok. Meanwhile, the University is putting into gear its slow-moving bureaucratic machinery and has begun soliciting funds for the Institute. Fund-raising should begin now because the black community needs a center for research, regardless of administrative conflicts. Approaching potential donors does not inhibit the possibility of much-needed changes in the report. For the Afro Department to fulfill its potential, Harvard should establish the DuBois Institute but should insure that a formal relationship between the Institute and the Afro Department...
