Though these gentlemen inveigh against "sloppy use of terminology," they make supposedly meaningful distinctions between three political positions of the thirties, i.e., Communists, anti-Communists, and anti-anti-Communists. While ignoring the total superficiality of this approach as not needing any serious comment, I might suggest that to maintain that these divisions exist "virtually the same way today" is an open admission of the bankruptcy of their political analysis. Surely they must recognize, if only privately, that the political arena has substantially changed in both content and style during the last ten years. It may be that organizations such...
Some regular poker players do maintain good grades, but a majority have taken leaves-of-absence for one reason or another. As one poker player explained: "These guys have not found anything else here. I was in a play but I didn't like the people. I tried out for the CRIMSON, but didn't like the people around there either. Freshman year I was the Young Republican ward leader for my entry, but that wasn't right. Then I took up poker--and the people are really great. This is the way I've decided to do Harvard...
...save his performers' potential for the proper moment, and he is able to achieve the most striking dynamic effects without the least exaggeration or grotesquerie.

He was also sensitive enough to maintain a continuous musical line and forward motion in spite of his deliberately slow pacing. Former math major or no, Adams is quite a musician. His Lacrymosa, even if most of the section is not Mozart's, was beatific...

While noting that well over half of ASPAU scholars maintain grades in American institutions, Moll recounted the story of an African student who flunked out of a "not so competitive" Western university (he was one of only five per cent), returned home, and was immediately appointed his country's representative to the United Nations...
...Taming of the Shrew. "We intend to make Shakespeare as successful a screenwriter as Abby Mann." Thus spake Director Franco Zeffirelli last year when he began filming The Taming of the Shrew. The screen credits maintain the mock-the-bard tone: script billing goes to Zeffirelli, Paul Dehn and Suso Checchi D'Amico, with a coy acknowledgment "to William Shakespeare, without whom we would have been at a loss for words." The irreverence in this case is less a shame than a sham. Despite the disclaimer, Zeffirelli has succeeded in mounting the liveliest screen incarnation of Shakespeare since Olivier...
