...present Administration's absurd penchant for wasting tax dollars, but a grave crime against man's will to survive. It will likely open the way to vaster, more absurd mechanizations of defense. If it is never used, the magnitude of such a dead investment will reproach mankind in its folly for generations to come. If it is employed, it will not even protect urban areas; we may die with the satisfaction of knowing that most of "them" will be just as dead. I cannot countenance my taxes being used for the preservation of steel and the propagation...
...most delirious scenes in A Thousand Clowns was an epiphany in which she wondered if she was really an asocial social worker. "I hate Raymond Led-better," she bawled, "and he's only nine years old." The dew-behind-the-ears charm and the sobs of self-reproach with which she delivered the line inevitably broke up the house...
James Lardner's hard-nosed man-of-the-world reproach to the Kearns-Levinson article in the New Republic ("Brass Tacks" -- no less!) exhibits the kind of sophomoric bunk that I do not usually associate with the CRIMSON. The rhetoric is fair but he didn't read the article. And if he did, then he's guilty of the gar greater sin of twisting the gist thereof to best fit his private beat.

Many of the musicians quoted by Haggin still quake at the memory of his fierce glare, which took in the whole orchestra but made each player feel that it was focused on him-usually in reproach. And then there were the tantrums. When a piece was not played as Toscanini wanted it, "his irritation used to start at his feet and rise," recalls Bassoonist Sol Schoen-bach. "By the time it reached his mouth, it was like a volcano erupting." Toscanini cursed, kicked over music stands, broke...
...they? Given their almost anarchist horror of formal organization, they are difficult to identify. They are mostly young, bright, from well-to-do, often liberal families. They are creatures of conscience, the children of men of conscience, and they regard their patrimony as a reproach. The largest and most permanent of the shifting New Left groups is the Students for a Democratic Society (some 30,000 members by rough count), whose president changes every year, and whose members once even considered abolishing the office. Originally part of the left-wing but anti-Communist League for Industrial Democracy, the S.D.S. soon...
