...Pint. Gary enjoyed no such amity. The city of 178,000 on Lake Michigan has two major industries, steel and Democratic politics, whose byproducts are wide-open vice and only slightly less tangible corruption. The population is mostly blue-collar. The majority of whites remain close in custom and outlook to their foreign origins and suspicious of the Negroes, who make up 55% of the population; many of them have arrived from the South since World War II. The city boasts 54 foreign-language groups, and in the 1964 presidential primary, the white vote went overwhelmingly to George Wallace...
Workshop for Experiment. Much of the company's inventive outlook is directly traceable to its patroness. St. Louis-born Rebekah Harkness, 52, launched the troupe in 1964 with $2,000,000 from a foundation set up with the Standard Oil legacy of her first husband, William Hale Harkness, who died in 1954. Mrs. Harkness, who by family request retired as a dancer at 19, has long made her summer home at Watch Hill, R.I., a workshop for ballet experiments. Until 1964, its showpiece was Robert Jeffrey's troupe (TIME, Oct. 6), which she cut adrift when...
...threat to this nation's security or economic interests. Nor is it much comfort to embrace the notion that the U.S. is engaged in the holier tasks of "nation-building" and preventing a bloodier conflict with Red China. Most people at Harvard, even those who affect a "tough-minded" outlook on American activities abroad, cannot help but be shaken by the tag of "murderer...
Unfortunately, the analogy may not be entirely valid. The Rutgers professor Eugene Genovese, one of the leading Marxist historians in America, was not doing any research for the National Liberation Front. His views on the war in Vietnam were shaped by his own theoretical outlook on revolution in underdeveloped societies, as well as his obvious revulsion at United States policy. On the other side of the coin, professors who spend a day each week in Washington, or part of their time on government research, may find their perspective slightly altered--if not warped--by their pre-occupation with "practical" matters...
Fatal Faith. Age difference aside, Royster and Morris share a similar Southern outlook. They have an eye for the out-of-kilter detail, the endearing eccentricity that redeems even an opponent. Royster is a conservative, Morris a liberal; yet the politics of both are mellowed by an appreciation of human quality. Though he disagreed with many of Adlai Stevenson's views, Royster saluted his concession speech ("Too old to cry, but it hurt too much to laugh") in 1952: "I think that nothing better revealed in Mr. Stevenson a quality for leadership than the manner of his yielding...
