Following commencement, Wald will leave for Rome and Tokyo to participate in conferences on nuclear armaments and nuclear power. He plans to return to his home in Woods Hole, Mass., to write on scientific topics and maintain his political activities. Even though he never fit the institutional mold and eschewed gray flannels for a turtleneck sweater and medallion, Wald has left an indelible mark upon Harvard. He is at times "a pain in the neck to the administration," as one admirer says, but he is still universally respected in spite or because of his politics...
...time of Nixon, Cambodia, and Gulf in Angola, with the April 1969 bust and Kent State in between. What comes as a surprise is that the novel, The Shad Treatment, is about the mud and blood of a Virginia governor's race in the classic populist-versus-conservative mold, and that it's good...
Social Goals. Fraser, too, is an emblem of that unity. Like Woodcock, he is a man in the mold of Walter Reuther, the visionary U.A.W. president who was killed in an air crash seven years ago. Once a metal finisher in a De Soto plant, Fraser became a boy-wonder local president and was Reuther's administrative assistant for most of the 1950s. As a union vice president in 1970, he seemed a likely choice to inherit "the Redhead's" post, but lost out when the union's executive board recommended Woodcock by one vote. More gregarious...
...bassist Boz Burrell with sax and flute icing by Mel Collins. Together they produce yet another collection of tight riffs--some might call them predictable--with a steady bass company and a highly-amplified guitar sound, usually controlled just short of distortion. They are not virtuosos in the mold of Cream members with their constant technical competition. Their compositions are hardly artistic innovations, either, with lyrical themes which don't stray far from the classic rock and roll love-them-and-leave-them (and occasionally be left by them) basics. But they are musicians who produce a great original sound...
This belief that human relations are disclosures of personality to personality has... distorted our understanding of the purpose of the city. The city is the instrument of impersonal life, the mold in which diversity and complexity of persons, interests and tastes become available as social experience. The fear of impersonality is breaking that mold. In their nice, neat gardens, people speak of the horrors of London or New York; here in Highgate or Scarsdale, one knows one's neighbors; true, not much happens, but life is safe. It is retribalization...
