...considered scholars, and, unless there is a strong overriding reason for keeping them, they are not likely to remain on the list when it is again reduced next week. Three university presidents, for instance-Friday, Gilman, and Hester-have been administrators almost exclusively for the last ten years. John Oswald, vice-president of the University of California, may have been a distinguished scholar inplant pathology when he was chairman of his department in the fifties, but that kind of scholarship would not evoke any widespread sympathy...
...lived in a tough neighborhood that was periodically invaded by Oswald Mosley's fascist bullyboys. Pinter remembers that as an adolescent, he had to run a gauntlet of broken milk bottles thrust menacingly at him. Not surprisingly, the boy's imagination was permeated by the Nazi massacre of the Jews. The threatened knock at the door, with the certainty of horrible punishment for an uncommitted crime, was a sound of terror in his mind before he ever recorded it on the stage...
Reck must have shown an amusing side to the Nazis. He was an old-school Wilhelmist and a South German intellectual whose broad range of ideas included a distaste for modern mass man that could be traced through his friend Oswald Spengler and back to such Slavophiles as Dostoevsky and Danilevsky.

He invariably used the old greeting "God be praised" instead of "Heil Hitler." In 1940 he huffed out of a packed Berlin movie house...
...future, experiments in aquaculture will become even more dramatic. Japanese scientists have already proposed raising tuna-a fish that can reach a weight of several hundred pounds -in closed-off atolls and lagoons in the Pacific. Indeed, the open sea itself may be "ranched." Columbia University Marine Biologist Oswald Roels is now exploring a "fertilizing" scheme in which a seagoing dredge would bring up nutrients from the depths, distribute them near the surface to encourage the growth of plankton, and harvest the fish that might then thrive in the area...
...scout came by and presented me with a leaflet all about the clenched fist- "The Communist Salute." It was covered with pictures of Lee Harvey Oswald, Communist workers, Jesie Jackson, Fred Evans, etc., all with one thing in common: in the pictures they are raising clenched fists. The argument goes that they are all, therefore. Communists, therefore, evil: Q.E.D. There's a picture of a Panther demonstration in Oakland. Part of the caption reads: "Mao Tse Tung's 'Red Guard Manual' protrudes from girl's pocket...
