...robbers, wielding a knife and a silver-plated revolver, forced Michael K. Griffin '75 and Timothy B. Morgan '75 to the floor in their K-entry room along with their four companions. They then tied the students with rope and robbed them...
...balancing of the moral books, just as Axel's character is too contrived for the movie to be emotionally gripping. We are too aware of Writer Toback's undigested intellectual debts as well as his rather adolescent romanticizing of his subject. Nor has London-based Director Reisz (Morgan, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning) fully absorbed any of the milieus through which The Gambler moves. Most of the time he seems to be taking snapshots for an album to be called something like "Colorful Habits of the Natives...
...week of the economic summit also brought a rare bit of good news: an easing of business borrowing costs. New York's Morgan Guaranty Trust Co., the nation's fifth largest bank, quickly followed by Chase Manhattan, the third largest, cut lending rates to the most credit-worthy corporations to 11¾%, from a record 12%.

It is still 5.7% above...
Lamont goes on to deny that an Oedipal complex, arising from hate of a father who hobnobbed with J.P. Morgan and James J. Hill, was "operative" in his decision to become a socialist, Humanist, civil libertarian and world pacifist. True to form, just as throughout this compendium of essays Lamont attacks determinism in any name, shape and form (Christian theistic, Marxist economic, Skinnerian behaviorist, even shades he sights in Dewey's naturalistic), he dismisses Freudian psychology as the explanation for his very un-patrician life choices. Rather, Lamont places a premium on just such choices--life choice, free will, individual...
