...YORK-JEWISH TONE that both Miller and the actors give to a number of the characters seems humorously anachronistic and at the same time strangely apt in the Old Testament context. "Schmuck!" God addresses Adam as he prepares to oust him from the Garden of Eden. Adam himself, portrayed by Bob Dishy as the typical Brooklyn boy, has an endearing pose--hands holding his sides at rib level, elbows jutting directly out--that simultaneously recalls an ape-man and a street-corner adolescent. The angels of Mercy and Death find their modern Jewish counterparts in benevolent grandfatherly Lou Gilbert (with...
Cracks began to show in the Synod's uneasy concord last December when Preus put pressure on the board to oust Professor Arlis Ehlen for his unorthodox views on the Old Testament (among other things, Ehlen questioned the historical accuracy of certain details of the crossing of the Red Sea). Then this month Preus declared war on President Tietjen himself, along with a majority of his faculty.

Although "Citizens for Frisoli" gathered 12,396 signatures--more than the 12 per cent of eligible voters necessary to make the School Committee reconsider its decision--the Committee again voted to oust Frisoli, by a vote of 4-3, and the City Council refused to put the matter to a test in a referendum in the April primary...
...other times, Bok uses the University's decentralized structure to avoid issues altogether. In the case of three professors trying to oust a dean, he shuffles responsibility to the Corporation as the body which is hearing the charges. He avoids discussion of SDS and its efforts to get rooms for a national convention at Harvard, saying that it is a matter for the College to decide. Then he quietly arranges for rooms at the Law School to avoid a potential disturbance...
