...current confusion has yet come forward. Traditional socialist analysis in the United States, borrowed from other areas of the world, is generally useless in explaining the current unrest. In its continued absence, some people in this country will turn to gurus and yogis, many more will just mill about in a bewildered ideological confusion...
Both correspondents found that the many East Germans they interviewed outside Berlin were friendlier-and far more talkative-than the uptight "press officers" in the capital. "Sometimes it was difficult to break away from their exemplary hospitality," says Nelan, who endured a four-hour tour of an alloy steel mill. Rademaekers met with more warmth than he had bargained for. "A heat wave was sweeping across East Germany," he complains, "and every window seemed locked up for the winter...
...source of Kelly's work is, however obliquely, the world of actuality, of things. In 1949, as a G.I. Bill student in Paris (where he enrolled at that crowded and fusty mill, the Ecole des Beaux-Arts), Kelly was browsing through an exhibition at the Musée d'Art Moderne. It bored him: "I noticed that the large windows between the paintings interested me more than the art exhibited." Afterward he made a construction, almost a scale model, of one of these windows, its glass panes and metal frame mocked up in canvas and wood. "From then...
...College faces one problem that is its own, as an institution, and which the students wanting to get a job or into medical school needn't worry about directly. For the first time since 1636, Harvard doesn't produce the end product of the educational mill. Most of its students get their final polish somewhere else. George Orwell went to Eton but did not then attend a British university, a procedure which today seems odd. In a few years, it may seem as odd to go to Harvard College and then not attend a graduate school of some sort...
Even the immediate settlement of the mill strikes (which does not seem likely) will not avert a shortage that may continue for three years. The problem is that while production of newsprint has remained about the same since 1970, demand has risen steadily. U.S. papers gobbled up 10.3 million tons of newsprint last year, an increase from 9.6 million tons in 1970; consumption for the first six months this year ran 5.4% higher than the 1972 rate. Caught flat-footed by this surge, neither U.S. purchasers nor Canadian suppliers see any quick solution. New paper mills are costly ($50 million...
