...blithe clarion for what he calls the crucial link in education--"highly gifted, strongly motivated teachers"--Adler points up exactly the stumbling block on which previous reform efforts have tumbled. Unfortunately, his scenario is so far in the clouds that it loses all relevance to education's current state. Notes sociologist David Riesman '31, who has taken exception publicly to Paideia's generally positive reception: "Hitching your wagon to a star is one thing, but if the wagon is mired in the mud and the star looks too remote, no one will make the effort to move...
...fashion model (which she is). Talk in Pennypacker 25 ranged from "I don't care who the wench is: I need her tonight" to the beautiful-young-heiress-promised-to-an-ugly-Greek-oil-magnate-but-yearning-to-run-off-with-an-average-guy-from-Northern-New Jersey scenario. The problem was, you see, that Catherine Oxenberg, 215 King's Road, Chelsea, London, England, SW3 was nothing more than a I-in, by 1 1/2-in. picture in the Freshman Register.

Perhaps "neoliberal" is simply a term invented to oppose "neo-conservative." The derisive use of "symbolists" suggests that the author himself does not communicate in symbols. He does. What, in fact, are words and pseudomathematical formulations like...
...largest archdiocese, with 2.5 million Roman Catholics. A liberal on social issues but a conservative on church doctrine, Bernardin was the subject of controversy last year when his name surfaced in the private journals of the Rev. Andrew Greeley, a writer and Cody critic. Greeley created a fictional scenario in which Bernardin succeeded the embattled Cody as part of a plot to rig a papal election...
