...sectarianism is promoted strongly by the "conspiracy of silence" or so-called "religious toleration." There is a deadly parallel between the "conspiracy of silence" on sectrianism today with the "conspiracy of silence" on the "social diseases" a few years ago. So long as people were "too nice" to mention gonorrhea and syphilis, these diseases went largely untreated and ate away at countless victims. Because we are "too nice" to call attention to the errors and other evils within one another's sectarianism, they eat away at our religious life. The less defensible the practices of a sect, the more...
Berve exposes even more serious Achilles heels in Homer's account. At the time of the war, Troy was a neighbor of the Hittite empire. Yet the Hittite royal archives, consisting of thousands of clay tablets discovered in central Turkey in 1907, make no mention of a major campaign against the city. More damning perhaps is the absence of any reference to the war in ancient tablets found within Greece and written in the recently deciphered Linear B script. Berve points out, moreover, that only a few hundred years after Homer, the Greek historians Herodotus and Thucydides were already...
...audience through presenting raw events, the meaninglessness of characters' actions, the blatant anti-capitalist propoganda of Weekend do not show Godard committing cinematic suicide. His integration of subject matter and approach demand this treatment. To critics who see Weekend as the end of the line, one must mention Les Carabiniers, a film that uses moral imbeciles in just the same way to attack war. Its events are as senseless and brutal; its plot as much as skeleton device that barely holds the film together (the characters' journey through alien rural setting becomes very boring); its characters as much figures...
...create the campus equivalent of perpetual revolution, a third act to "Marat/Sade" as it were. My own guess is that even the most devoted romantic found the past two weeks taxing, even boring. You get nervous, you can't be alone when you walk the streets, you hear someone mention "confrontation" or "sincerity" and you want to put your hands on your ears and run and run and run. I believe it was George Orwell who said that the problem with socialism is that it takes up too many weekday nights. Well, the problem with campus disorder is that...
...Mention this legend of the Summer School to H. Francis Wilkinson, acting director of the school, and you'll first get a measured silence, and then a firm rebuttal to the legend. It's no longer a rest camp, if it ever was," he says. Queried about the percentage of Summer School students who come for relaxation and little else, Wilkinson replies, "There are some, but there are some in Harvard College too." He hastens to point out that, last summer, two-thirds of the summer students received only honors grades...
