...parties have become more independent. The French party for years cringed under Socialist Guy Mollet's indictment that "the Communists are not of the Left but of the East"; by asserting a moderate amount of independence, the French Communists have gained a new respectability in French political life (see page 41). The Italian party, the largest European Communist Party outside the East bloc, which is likely to share power in an Italian government sooner rather than later, stresses its independence of the Soviet way of doing things. Long the lepers of Finnish politics, Communists now participate in the coalition government...
...myth and a generalized faith, Marxism has proved remarkably durable, partly because it has been interpreted and stretched so broadly that widely different political movements can and do invoke it (see TIME ESSAY, page 35). In its specific applications, the faith is hopelessly split. Within little more than a decade, Communism has undergone a great schism (Moscow v. Peking), experienced an abortive reformation (Dubcek's Czechoslovakia), and developed a plethora of protestant sects (Yugoslavia and Rumania, among others). The once vaunted and feared unity of Communism has shattered into a bewildering, quarrelsome, logic-and dogma-defying set of parties...
...literature must conform to the precepts of "socialist realism;" that means they must provide didactic uplift about Communism. There are few civil rights for individuals. Dissent from party and government is severely punished. Even so, a small band of dissenters continues to protest against the growing repression (see box, page...
Papers. This was old P. Bender Bartlett's specialty, and the Bartlett Boom remains standard. Although many variations are permitted, it was the master's own strategy to assign one two-page and one thirty-page paper each term. He criticized the two-pager in great detail, and marked it stiffly; thus student were driven to invest a good deal of time into the thirty-pager--only to get it back ungraded, with the comment. "I don't think one can measure an effort of this sort by a number or letter...
...membership (by having faculty or recent graduates serve limited terms) face no legal restrictions. The only state laws restricting the Governing Boards apply to the Overseers--only alumni can vote, but faculty and administrative officers cannot vote of or serve on the Board. A recent article on this page indicated that--however foolhardy it would be politically to ask politicians now to consider matters affecting a university--it might be safe, in legal terms to petition the legislature to remove the limits on the Overseers. It is possible that the Supreme Court's Dartmouth College decision, in 1819 means that...
