...sometimes think that your cinema reviewer (one can't call him a critic) is desperately afraid that his ineptness at his job may escape the reader. The fact that he hates The Ugly American [April 19] and I love it is not what prompts me to take pen in hand. His snide, destructive diatribes couldn't provoke me to write in the past, and it isn't that this last piece of his has struck a new low. He has delivered himself of this caliber of filth before.

Class meetings could then he used for other things. Such a procedure would transmit information much more effectively than the present paper-mouth-ear-pen-paper route. Furthermore. It would allow the lecturer to tranmit as much information as he desires, not being restricted, as now, to the amount he can orally present in two or three hours per week over the period of a semester...
