Premature Phonies. Some skeptics insist that the real lure for colleges is ethnic eccentricity. "This is the year for Chinese violinists," declares a jaded Harvard freshman, who just happens to be a Chinese violinist. "Next year it will be Jewish bagpipers."

Indeed, an intense facing up to facts about this continent and its history is far more instructive, especially about the future of our world, than a facing backward to Europe, still a center of ferment and ideas, but no longer the depository of sane leadership...
