...brief talk to the brass. Johnson recalled that "a friend of mine, observing some of my problems, recently sent me for my desk a quotation from a Roman consul back in 168 B.C." The consul was Lucius Aemilius Paulus, speaking to the Roman Senate, which had picked him to lead Rome's legions in the Macedonian war, then heaped criticism upon his conduct of that war. Said Paulus: "I am not one of those who think that commanders ought at no time to receive advice; on the contrary, 1 should deem that man more proud than wise who regulated...
Sartre had said to the Marxists: my system has the individualist appeal that yours lacks, while yours provides a blueprint for the life of action mine implies. Let us combine. The fact that Sartre's proposed union does not seem to be philosophically possible does not make it any less worth studying. For while Marxism and existentialism may be incapable of coexisting in a real society, they coexist constantly in the imaginations of young people today. Many of these people are activists. Their programs often reflect this attempt at union. If they ever succeed in gaining some social power, what...
Weil and his colleagues are to be congratulated for a sophisticated and balanced treatment of a subject which to their knowledge and mine has never before been recognized as a discreet "field."

The plan lets U.S. high school graduates, free from all the pressures of being graded, alternately study in the relaxed resort city of Lugano and travel through Europe to quiz politicians, industrialists, cultural leaders, university students. "American students can't afford to be simply tourists-that day is over," explains the energetic director of the program, Ian D. Mellon, 31, an M.A. from New York University. The program's 88 students recently finished a two-week swing through Belgium and northeastern France. Their two dark green buses had carried them to Common Market headquarters in Brussels...
...rich by developing his childish scarecrows into elaborate mechanical puppets that are programmed to act out scenes of German guilt. They are much in demand among guilt-ridden Germans, and Amsel employs a large force of workers to build their elaborate machinery and package them in an abandoned potash mine. In a grotesque parody of that old literary device, the descent into hell, Amsel leads Matern and his black dog through his guilt factory. The black dog, who appears to embody both the bestial and the sturdily virtuous elements of the German nature, remains in Amsel's underworld...
