...When I reflect on the Core classes that dot my transcript, the problem as I see it had little to do with what I was learning, and everything to do with how it was taught, an error of method, not of content. In this light, the Task Force’s report seems too erudite and abstract for the dilemma at hand, like trying to fix a broken down car with a new theory of locomotion.

The role of mass media in that film, and others from the period, reflected Hollywood’s growing role in American society in the 1950s, said James Hoberman, senior film critic for the Village Voice newspaper, at a seminar yesterday. Speaking to a small gathering of film aficionados at the Carpenter Center, Hoberman offered a preview of his next book, which will focus on the role...
