These last two are of Lipton's own making--he insists the classifying shouldn't have ended in 1486. In a final and separate section of the book, he does his own inventing: a complex of psychoanalysts, a failing of students, an unction of undertakers (a larger group: an extreme unction), a rise of mini-skirts. He even outlines production rules: onomatopoeia, habitat, comment, etc. Always, the first term must pinpoint a feeling we have about the group being described. For instance, Lipton rules out calling prostitutes an anthology of pros, because the humor lies in the second term--anthology...
...grateful to the College for providing me with the opportunity to earn my commission. And I think that service in the Army was an important part of my liberal arts education--for many of my classmates and for myself it was a unique opportunity to work with a cross section of our society far broader than is available in the rarified world of Harvard. It need hardly be added that the challenges and responsibilities of leadership and command are themselves part of a broad education, especially for those graduates bound for professional life...
...report makes some of its most important proposals in the section on University-Community relations. With sharper focus than the Wilson Committee, the report urges the University to reconsider the "morality" of its hiring, real estate, and investment policies. That reconsideration is over-due. While trying to mend its internal racial problems, Harvard should also see what its investment and hiring policies can do to help racial equality outside its walls...
...control - the value of the Vatican's real estate holdings runs into billions. The Real Estate Department, which is not headed by Marcinkus, owns apartments in Rome plus land in the hills around the city. It has other properties in Europe, South America and the U.S. A third section in the Vatican's financial structure, the Special Administration Department, has handsomely multiplied the $83 million that Mussolini paid in 1929 under the Lateran Treaty to compensate the church for territorial losses sustained in the unification of Italy...
...somewhat hysterical appropriation of this analysis--albeit in a generally less sophisticated form--by establishment liberals. On any given Sunday, the odds are good this sort of analysis of the "mood" or "scenario" of radicalism can be found leaking from page to page of the Times magazine section. Other days you can find it among the literary baggage of Commentary, or the New York Review. More seriously, such analyses seem to form the basis of the public statements and acts of politicians, police chiefs, university administrators, and many professors; specifically, this might account for the behavior of the Harvard administration...
