Fruit and Cologne. About 20 miles inside Egypt on a barren ridge, we passed an unshaven Israeli artillery sergeant sitting in a ditch eating sardines and fresh tomatoes. "Good thing, this cease-fire," he said. "Just so it doesn't cease." On a parallel road to the south, a grisly Israeli soldier flagged us down. The smell of corpses was heavy in the air. Just beyond us was Kilometer 101, where Israeli and Egyptian generals had met under the protective cloak of the U.N. An Israeli officer told us: "Both sides want this cease-fire to work. The other...
...with an image that, while not really abstract, seems a distant reference to early European constructivism like the gush of music drawn as prismatic blocks issuing from the mouth of a dancing horn in Make Mine Music (1946).

In both cases high Justice Department officials lavishly praised the thoroughness of the FBI's investigations-and then, apparently for political reasons, ignored the logical conclusions to be drawn from the evidence. At Kent State the evidence suggested that the shootings were "unwarranted" and that Guardsmen had "fabricated" self-protective excuses...
...students' increased vocational interest--the decay of political consciousness--is perhaps the most obvious, but also the most difficult factor to define. Certainly the style of the Harvard student has changed markedly in the last ten years, but his vocational inclinations do not seem to have undergone a parallel shift. Before, during and after the strikes of 1960 and 1970 about the same number of seniors planned to become lawyers and doctors...
