...nihilistic. It was brilliant to assign Norman Mailer to cover the 1964 political conventions; it was sick to have 1968 covered by the French Playwright Jean Genet, Novelist William Burroughs (Naked Lunch) and Beat Poet Allen Ginsberg.

We believe that the School should hold a position comparable to that of the University as a whole...

Even now, many Americans are probably more committed to the principle of governmental legitimacy than most Europeans are. While the Americans' experience in a strange and unspoiled new world has liberated them from many outworn European ideas, it has at the same time made them cling for protection to basic European concepts of government and the rule...
