...attitude is free and defiant. "I don't give a damn any longer what people think," declares Manhattan Career Girl Pam Zauderer, 23. Not exactly a novel or revolutionary notion. Still, she was raised in Chanel suits picked out by her mother, and she now goes dining and dancing in pants-shaggy fur ones for the gaucho look at a party given by Vogue Editor Diana Vreeland, fringed satin ones for the Indian look at a Four Seasons reception for Yves Saint Laurent. Post-Deb Cathy Macauley, 21, shows up in Manhattan for the superformal opening of the Metropolitan...

In a series of interlocking biographical sketches-marked by Anglophobia and a gift for rhetoric-Parrington, in Main Currents in American Thought, reconstructed the U.S. cultural evolution. His notion, deeply ingrained in the American character, was that art should have a social purpose; realism, it followed, was better than fantasy. The great republic, he said, had solved through a struggle between the ideas of Good Guy liberals, dissenters, democrats and humanitarians, like Roger Williams, Ben Franklin, and naturally, Thomas Jefferson, and Bad Guy conservatives like Jonathan Edwards, Increase Mather...
Regarding the SDS letter against ROTC being on campus in the October 21 edition of the Crimson: We would like to know just when the SDS obtained a copyright on morality? We reject the notion that by allowing a student referendum to decide the status of ROTC, Harvard is submitting to the "narrow self interests of some Harvard students," or "welcoming the instruments of repression...
