WHICH WOULD be fine if the book meekly promised to make its points according to some set up we've all seen before. A hip sermon maybe, railing against whatever the author feels up to taking on, or a straight allegory with an easy one-to-one correspondence between the symbols and what they represent, or even a clever satire with the edge precisely sharpened on some well-turned witticisms. But in this book, you never know what's going to come up next. One minute you're riding along, pleased with yourself for having figured out the subtleties hidden...
...know much about Ishmael Reed, but from reading his book. I imagine he'd make an incredibly good drunk. His writing is like that, sky high and reeling along, everything just enough out of focus so that you get the feeling he's tilted the whole world a few degrees his way and he's letting you in on what he sees. What you see and what you don't is up to your imagination. Reed has a lot to say about what he thinks this country has been up to in the past 200 years...
...Plympton Street, for the other people who help put the paper out, and for the integrity of the paper. The attachment is not less amazing if you consider the less than elegant decor of the building, the often bizarrely heterogeneous natures of the dozens of students who make up the Crimson, and the inescapable hard work that goes into...
...first glance, it might be inconceivable that such a diverse group of students could work harmoniously enough together to print the Crimson every day. Often even the editors can't figure out how the morrow's paper will be completed, but for better or worse, we always make it. The Crimson puts together more people with radically different life styles than any other group at Harvard. The newsroom sometimes resembles a cross between a Soc Rel 120 section and an encounter group-only it's much more fun, and occasionally just as illuminating...
Competing for the Crimson is certainly rather tricky business. There's no guarantee that you'll make it. We're looking for students who can demonstrate competence in some field, however narrow. But remember that it's not as difficult as getting into Harvard or Radcliffe. Few people who stick out the entire competition for any of the four boards get cut in the end. Persistence, initiative, and some work at developing the skills you obviously possess will get you elected...
