Americans have also watched their once-hallowed principle of governmental nonintervention in the marketplace give way under the pressure of a depression to wide acceptance of New Deal intervention. Outright regulation of wages and prices remained a blasphemy to be endured only in wartime -until Richard Nixon abandoned one of his own political creeds and abruptly imposed controls. He even adopted Keynesian deficit budgets and seemed not at all appalled by the biggest deficit since World...

Despite a lot of rhetoric, the University has done almost nothing to support the practicing arts." The University's attitude curtails--by outright neglect--the amazing student interest in creating something tangible, a clear by-product of pottery work. For students interested in experiencing art firsthand rather than through the work of others, a deep frustration exists over the lack of Harvard facilities and programs...
