...rules. First, never criticize any action by the students, no matter how stupid, extreme, or wrong it may be; Second, never say anything good about the Administration, mention compromises they were willing to make, problems they've had, or the like: Third, realize that Columbia is never to be seen as an educational institution, and that its educational function is never to be hinted at. No, Columbia is the first step, our Boston Tea Party, our Bastille. As the current New Left Notes says, we're not strong enough yet to take over the state, so, On To Morningside Heights...
...student volunteers, McCarthy's weekend warriors, were even more enthusiastic. Like World War I veterans, they loved to search out old friends and rehash the campaigns they had already seen. Some had known the snow in New Hampshire, many more recalled the friendliness of Wisconsin. For others, it was their first crusade. For those of us from Harvard, reading period had made it easy to respond to latent activism. McCarthy had become something of an intellectual's cause celebre.

It remains to be seen whether the trans planted heart will function smoothly (and profitably), or whether it will provoke rejection symptoms. The new Bond lacks much of the comic-book charm that connected so well when the camp craze was at its height a few years ago. He makes a halfhearted attempt to evolve Bond...
...standards all the way from suburbia to government. He may even be right when he says that modern man is "surely crazier than we realize." But he undercuts his own arguments by his hysterically hectoring tone. Christians, he writes, "made all the world a hell." He testifies he has seen scientists at work who are "corrupt, mindless, ignorant." In the end, his book induces only the normal long-sermon doze and the final dogged agreement that, yes, we're not as good as we should...
