...intellectual history recognizes immediately that he is a figure of considerable complexity. His intuitive and scholarly comprehension of obscure dialects of black life is frequently brilliant and shrewd. Yet his analysis has also been, on occasion, intemperate in tone and mistaken in judgment. In our view, however, his rich insights are unquestionably worth the accompanying imperfections. For example in the recent series of exchanges with black students we tend to concur with much of the substance of his critique. It is true that many black students do not intelligently utilize Harvard's extraordinary resources and its cosmopolitan environment...

That could now be just the start of something bigger. An avid Hollywood partygoer, Davis has no desire to say ciao to Tinseltown. Industry observers are predicting that he will soon announce another entertainment venture, possibly the purchase...
...least 90 will have called before the end of October. They may or may not further the cause of world peace in a forum that has failed to live up to its impossibly dreamy promise as arbiter of global disputes. But the assembled dignitaries will surely provide a rich spectacle of diplomatic pomp and a torrent of high- minded rhetoric, not to mention traffic jams that are likely to be, even by midtown Manhattan standards, of epic proportions.
