...group seemed to give credence to the security concerns that the Soviets used as an excuse for staying home. Peter Ueberroth, president of the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee, pulls no punches when he talks about Balsiger's organization. "I called them nutty," he said, referring to a remark made last month, "and didn't offer an apology. I would consider an apology if they rename their group the Coalition to Hurt Athletes or the Coalition to Play into the Hands of the Soviet Union...
Governor Lamm is being unduly castigated for a perfectly reasonable remark. If we do not begin soon to make sense out of this problem, we will eventually come to a brave new world, where those who are 65 are put into a crematorium.

Discussing Eros, the psychological principle of love, Erikson asserts that love is, theoretically and potentially, universal. In quaintly secular fashion, Erikson approaches an idealization of the power of love not unlike the old Christian attitude, implicitly forwarding the social health of love as the chief criterion for judging a culture. Hansberry seems to have constructed A Raisin in the Sun from the critical vantage point of the possibility of universal love. While the result is staggering, one immediately wonders if it is always possible...
