...were to have journalistically evaluated my road trip down to last year's Dartmouth-Harvard game, I might have been able to expound on what a "weak-tit" atmosphere I found. But I would have been mistaken. Harvard weekend last year, despite the loss of the football and soccer teams and the torrential precipitation, was one of the landmarks of my freshman year. So what if Harvard people interrupted their studying (tooling) on Friday night just long enough to throw water balloons on visiting Dartmouth students four stories below.

...could discuss the scientific or artistic accomplishments of a person without reference to his political views. One can admire Solzhenitsyn's or Bellow's novels without embracing the Slavonophilic views of the first or the pro-Israeli view of the second. Nor should Friedman's views on Rhodesia (mistaken in my opinion) stand in the way of recognizing his scientific contributions to economics.

"A lot of people are mistaken when they say that if Hurok disappears his organization will fall apart," he would say. "It'll go on, as long as they have the artists." Last week -two years after Hurok died at the age of 85-the current management of Hurok Concerts conceded that almost three dozen of its biggest box office draws had quit. The stampede out of Hurok began one of the biggest shake-ups in the concert business. Items...
