...season and looming, savage cutbacks in federal aid--do not bite too deeply, and the ART makes strides towards getting more students into the Loeb--perhaps by further reducing the price of the already dirt-cheap student pass--future seasons are likely to show that Brustein and Harvard were prescient in teaming up. But before their teamwork becomes fully effective, somehow the gap between the academic theater and the live theater will have to narrow. Let's hope the academics grow to appreciate the need for the director in the modern theater, and the theater professionals find in the academics...
That was only the beginning. When Ross died and was succeeded by Shawn in 1952, other lengthy reports, some of them prescient, began to appear: Rachel Carson documenting environmental destruction, James Baldwin warning whites of The Fire Next Time. No longer resounding with gaiety and wit, The New Yorker had become a serious magazine with cartoons. For a time, in its outrage over Viet Nam and Nixon, The New Yorker abandoned ironical urbanity and bared its anger.

In his almost spookily prescient 1955 novel about Viet Nam, The Quiet American, Graham Greene remarked that their innocence makes Americans the most dangerous people in the world...
...tongue in order to get his money's worth out of American movies, for which the Spanish subtitle might read "Be gone!" while the sound track said, "I'll kick your teeth past your tonsils." Luis earns the Nazis' trust and the Iron Cross with his prescient reports on British planning. In time, Eldorado (Luis' code name) acquires an imaginary network of agents, all handsomely remunerated by German intelligence, which pours their pay into Cabrillo's Lisbon bank account. The cash from Berlin flows and grows. And Cabrillo never gets closer to England than Oporto...
