...when the Bruner Committee made its report, the history-oriented courses in the Natural Sciences which the Redbook proposed had been replaced largely by courses which taught science per se. One effect the Doty Report will have will be to perform for the Social Sciences and Humanities (which have come along way from the monolithic pattern proposed by the Redbook) the legitimizing function which the Bruner Report accomplished for the Natural Sciences. The report does this, first, by maintaining that, in addition to ingraining in Harvard freshmen the understanding of the Western tradition which the Redbook believed important...
...endowed by Providence with the right to perform one solitary, spectacular miracle, most school boards in Northern U.S. cities would use it to solves the deadlocked problems of de facto segregation. The Gary, Ind., board for example, concluded that it would not take any responsibility for desegregating its schools, and made its decision stick in the courts; the U.S. Supreme Court a fortnight ago turned down a chacne to hear the case.

Having thus taken wing, the spectacle seldom falters, for the cameras perform in a virtuoso style that rivals the competitors on the field. Again and again, with slow-motion photography and telescopic lenses that reveal an athlete's face in stunning closeup, the moment of truth is seized; an Italian cyclist, narrowly losing one contest, bursts into tears; the barefoot Bikila Abebe sprints through torchlit Roman streets to win the 26-mile marathon and Ethiopia's first Olympic gold medal; U.S. Decathlon Champion Rafer Johnson consolingly embraces his close friend and runner-up, Taiwan...
