...there is a writer indifferent enough to the stigma of the word "square" to describe pornographers [April 16] for what they are-stultified and frustrated hacks who in their great crusade for "artistic" freedom and "broadmindedness" manage to be just two things: prisoners of their own vapidity and excruciatingly narrow-minded bores...
Toddy, Tobacco, Telly. But Wilson seemed completely at his ease, and with every reason. As Britain's first Socialist head of government in 13 years, Wilson from the beginning has acted like a man with an overwhelming mandate instead of the narrow four-vote majority with which he squeaked into office last October. At home, he has proved deft and effective in managing the balance-of-payments crisis that nearly shipwrecked the pound.

It is the handsomest and often the most substantial magazine put out by undergraduates, yet students seldom, if ever, write for it. Its topics range from fairly narrow subjects with special relevance to the Harvard community--for example the excellent memorial issue on Perry Miller--to nearly limitless ones like this number on undergraduate education. Ambivalent about their audience and their contributors, the editors of the Review have never quite decided whether their magazine is distinctly a Harvard publication with a local focus...
