...week's attack on television news presentations to include print journalism (see THE PRESS). Agnew did not ignore his more familiar adversary, radical youth. In other statements, Agnew has blamed journalism for ballooning the militants' dimensions.

...front of the museum fly 14 flags representing the nationalities of the patrons who contributed funds to build it. Among them are Novelist Alberto Moravia, Philosopher Martin Heidegger and Composer Igor Stravinsky, Film Directors John Huston, Ingmar Bergman and Jean-Luc Godard, Diplomat George Kennan and Heart Surgeon Dr. Christiaan Barnard.

These ideas are almost simplistic. That they are worth repeating in 1969 comments on the decay of the modern university...
Lillian Hellman's rebuke to George Kennan after he bemoaned the irresponsibility and nihilism of youth had the same effect. Abandoning rhetoric and argument, Hellman recalled talking with Kennan in a European cafe decades before. "We've had so many common experiences," she said. "How come we feel so differently about youth?" The reproach was simple, emotional and electric...
