...backlash issue, its impact is baffiingly uneven and unpredictable. In Illinois, Democratic Senator Paul Douglas is losing votes to G.O.P. Challenger Charles Percy not only among Chicago whites but also among hitherto loyal Negroes, who resent Democratic Mayor Richard Daley's resistance to their demands. In Ohio, Republican Congressman William M. McCulloch, a key man in getting the 1964 Civil Rights Act through the House, is now under sharp attack by a Democratic opponent who accuses him of "appeasing the violence of the rioters." And in Massachusetts' U.S. Senate race, backlash voters face a bewildering choice between G.O.P...
Things have since gone downhill, and I'm not young and easy anymore. Now Gobel is selling pork and beans. Feiffer has stayed just the same -- perhaps I've come to resent him some for that stagnation -- and behold, those Limeys come back, and they haven't changed either. Michael Flanders, archetype of Shavian urbanity (imagine Peter Ustinov impersonating Tom Lehrer), and Donald Swann, a mad leprechaun escaped from some Little Men's Chowder & Marching Society (imagine Arthur Schlesinger impersonating Peter Pan) still jesting and warbling about Wilson and De Gaulle, dieting and astrology, parking problems and fixit-men.

The report of the Subcommittee on Curriculum Planning should be studied carefully by the faculty and improved where necessary But it will be unfortunate if the debate stretches out for more than a year, making it impossible to institute the system next September...
Impressive Beginnings. With some justification, many Filipinos resent the volume of U.S. aid to Viet Nam and Thailand, and one of Marcos' objectives in visiting Washington was to warn that without more U.S. help, the Philippines could well turn into the Viet Nam of the 1970s. Absurd? Only 15 years ago, the Communist Huk guerrillas came perilously close to taking over the nation. Even now, central Luzon is seeing a recrudescence of Huk terror as some 1,000 armed guerrillas, supported by an estimated 27,000 peasants, prowl the forests...
Tipping is a two-way cultural shock. Just as Americans resent the outstretched palms of European bellhops and waiters who have already received the compulsory tip added to hotel and restaurant tabs, foreigners in the U.S. cannot easily get the hang of the American freelance system. Another shock comes when a visitor tries, as he sometimes does, to haggle bazaar-style in Saks Fifth Avenue...
