...well as sell, than they did in the past. Many a full professor who left his undergraduates mostly to wan and preoccupied teaching assistants is back in the classroom going all out. If the crunch on colleges could at last result in something like "teach or perish," instead of publish or perish, the uses of economic adversity might prove sweet indeed for American education...
...garage load of other findings were rummaged up by Coleman and Rainwater in surveys of 900 residents of Boston and Kansas City. The study, which cut across all economic and social lines, was conducted in 1971-72. The length of time it took to analyze, write and publish the conclusions is undoubtedly due to the damnable complexity of the subject. This is evidenced in the book's colliding metaphors. The class structure in the United States is imagined either as a stepladder or as an escalator, a continuum without rungs. America's ethnic ingredients are blended...
...middle-aged woman named Harriet Monroe persuaded 100 fellow Chicagoans to contribute $50 apiece for five years running. Why?

In the first place, Olsen contends, the most fundamental prerequisite for sustained, flourishing productivity, "the even flow of daily life made easy and noiseless," is a luxury the vast majority cannot afford. For mothers whose lives are "distraction...
...Advocate--A literary magazine that operates out of a charming little building near Kirkland House, this is one of the oldest continuous publications around. Lots of self-proclaimed artsy-intellectual types who wouldn't be caught dead without their New Yorker. They publish four or five times per year, and most of the stuff is good, with both occasional stinkers and outrageously good pieces. Oh yeah, the Advocate's parties are the greatest...
