Excerpted from her forthcoming book--which received a fair amount of publicity last year when Little Brown refused to publish Trilling's charges against Lillian Hellman, forcing the author to seek another publisher--Trilling's essay is rather more thought-provoking than Aldrich's piece, which merely decried the decline of the Harvard tradition and the old-boy network. Trilling compares the Radcliffe undergraduates she met here in 1971, when she spent several months in Briggs Hall, to thz women she went to school with in the '20s, and concludes that, despite their obvious external differences, the two groups...
...simplest food shopping. Although the state has installed Plains' first traffic light, massive traffic tie-ups occur regularly. Five tour outfits, one of them partially owned by Billy Carter, now operate in Plains. Two use minitrains to show the area's sights-Jimmy's birthplace, Miss Lillian's home, the housing project where Jimmy and Rosalynn lived, the local high school-another is planning to bring in a huge double-decker...
...others, to cope with it. Billy, when he is not managing the Carter warehouse or arranging a World Team Tennis exhibition in Plains for April 30 (the proceeds go to Charity) or making celebrity appearances, is fighting commercial rezoning applications. He and the other Carters, including the famed Miss Lillian, who is described by relatives as "a prisoner in her own house," have been forced out of public view by tourists. NO VISITORS, NO TRESPASSING reads a sign in front of her house. "Maybe we should just put a tent over the entire town," Billy says, "and declare the whole...
...tells us when he reaches the podium (to do the first lap in the night's relay of guest hosts) is: "I'm here to tell you why no blacks are going to be nominated tonight, for anything." None were. Jane Fonda is another guest host. Hanoi Jane announces Lillian Hellman, who praises this younger generation for inviting her after all the years she was blacklisted. The audience gives Hellman a standing ovation; we could not help thinking of all the stalwarts in the theater who probably played strong supporting roles in Hellman's feeding to the lions...
...symbols. Carter, of course, was (and is) the master of the that game, as the folks out in Clinton, Mass. must realize by now. Carter people griped that the press refused to treat the campaign on any but a symbolic level--hence the long, analytical pieces on Miss Lillian's fish pond and brother Billy's proclivity for Budweiser. But Carter himself has a good flair for showmanship, and he exploited the public attention to imagery for all it was worthy--the solar heated (supposedly) inaugural podium is one example. Nor was Carter alone in his attention to symbols. Jerry...
