Frederick D. Weil '73, Lampoon lbis, denied Monday that his cohorts had prepared the jeremiad...
...reaching analyses of the implications of the Carswell affair on Harris's part are noticeably lacking. One feels not that Harris cannot decide what the decision augurs so much as he is hesitant to speak. On rereading the jeremiad with which he concludes Justice. it seems clear that he is afraid to speak for fear of what he will have to say. "Since it is the majority's fear-fear of black men, fear of crime, fear of disorder, fear even of differences-that allows repression to flourish, those who succumb to their fears are as responsible as those...
...once heard, would vindicate their actions. In a forthcoming special issue of Holy Cross Quarterly devoted entirely to the Berrigans, Protestant Theologian Robert McAfee Brown tries to assess the symbolic importance of Catonsville.

Charles Silberman, 45, is the author of a perceptive summary of race relations, Crisis in Black and White. His new book, Crisis in the Classroom (Random House; $10), is likely to be as widely discussed as James B. Conant's 1959 report, The American High School Today. Silberman finds that even highly reputed schools are so preoccupied with order and discipline that...
