But if The Dartmouth Review makes you mad at racism in America--and it should--get mad also at the political leaders whose benign neglect of the struggle for equality creates a climate in which the paper feels secure. The IEA hotshots--the Buckleys and the Simons who finance The Review in the name of combatting special treatment of minorities--have been feeling bold since the 1980 elections.

Herman proposes that we again educate ourselves and prepare to cope with-the horror of incest. Her book is the first step in the process...

On the inconsequential subject of a couple of mugs of beer on a Saturday night, the masters should quickly establish slight house taxes and cease trying to administer the policy themselves.
