...together and take loving care of one another's ego," urges the course prospectus. It is hard to see how this will lead to better poems, paintings or songs. Self-indulgence could turn free universities into a travesty of education in which "rapping" replaces research, and reason gives way to sensuality...
Fielding's toughest competitor?and critic?is probably Arthur Frommer, a former Manhattan attorney who writes the budget guidebook, Europe on $5 a Day. According to Frommer, Fielding writes "as though the only reason for going to Europe is to eat one grand meal after another. My people don't want to stay in hotels that have stock market tickers in the lobbies. They're people who want to test Europe?live on the Left Bank of Paris instead of the Right, eat in the same restaurants the local people eat in." Frommer's "people" are mainly travelers...
What Frommer says has the ring of solid silver. His Europe on $5 a Day outsells Fielding's Super-Economy Guide by about two to one, and one reason surely is the Fielding book's patronizing attitude toward low-budget travel.

...Guide's main attractions is the dining recommendations. Fielding fails to mention many good European restaurants -usually for a reason. Perhaps the waiters do not speak English, or the maitre is invariably rude to Americans. Sometimes Fielding leaves one out simply because it is too good and already has all the business it can handle. Why spoil it for himself with a flood of U.S. tourists? Occasionally, Fielding just trips up. To fill gaps in the 1969 Guide, TIME asked its correspondents in London, Paris, Rome and Madrid to describe some notable Fielding omissions. Their recommendations...
Last week, though, it became clear that Shannon is on the other side of the argument. A confidential letter he had written to the Pope dissenting from the encyclical became public, and he was reported to have submitted his resignation. The reason for his resignation, according to Religion Editor Willmar Thorkelson of the Minneapolis Star, who broke the story, was Shannon's inability to accept the prohibition of contraception as stated in Humanae Vitae...
