Henry Kissinger arrived in the Middle East last week seeking keys to further progress toward peace between Israel and Egypt, and almost immediately began to hear some freewheeling suggestions. One Israeli diplomat offhandedly suggested that peace might be easier to attain if athletic contests could be arranged between the two countries. "That's not a bad idea for a settlement," said one weary aide to Premier Yitzhak Rabin at the end of the talks. "We could let our national football teams beat their brains out against each other and send the armies home to watch...
Still, the conservative make-up of the Economics faculty makes any real progress towards the inclusion of Marxian economics impossible. This year there were two radical economists on the department's faculty--Stephen A. Marglin '59, professor of Economics, and Arthur MacEwan, lecturer on Economics. With the expiration of MacEwan's contract this June, and the hiring of Lazonick, the number of radicals on the Economics faculty for next year remains exactly the same as this year: one senior faculty member--Marglin--whom the department cannot get rid of, and one junior faculty member, Lazonick.

The cutoff was enacted last fall by an enraged Congress, following an invasion of the island by Turkish forces using American arms. Its purpose was to pressure Ankara into withdrawing its troops from Cyprus and allowing the resettlement of the 200,000 refugees...
Power Base. Etzioni's main theoretical effort and "life's work" is The Active Society, a long and turgid treatise on how to use the levers of social change. In it, Etzioni explains how social progress requires consensus and a power base to protect and promote change. Thus he considered Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty a doomed effort from the start because it gave the poor authority without a power base. He also opposes school busing as a means of integration because no consensus for it exists. "If you want it, fine-go out and convince...
