Much of the bloody detail of My Lai had already been revealed either during the courts-martial or by newsmen, notably Seymour M. Hersh, a reporter for the New York Times. But the Peers report, for all its official prose and military circumlocution, holds its own special fascination: the Army, says the report, was guilty of "individual and group acts of murder, rape, sodomy, maiming and assault on noncombatants and the mistreatment and killing of detainees...
Actually, it is highly likely that one's political orientation is possibly the first thing to change in the upwardly mobile. Indeed, if the "anticipatory socialization" that Seymour Lipset and Reinhard Bendix speak of in their book "Social Mobility in Industrial Society" is at work, the political and social orientations of the upwardly mobile begins to change even before they enter the higher strata--which is one of the reasons they do enter the higher strata.

...because of sociology's lack of all-encompassing theory tied to the existing social order, sociologists have a tendency towards the accommodation of radical views. Senior sociologists at Harvard, like Seymour Martin Lipset and Daniel Bell, have integrated Marxist modes of analysis into their own theories.

Many of his colleagues disagree sharply. Jim Snavely, a reporter for the Daily Record (circ. 36,001) and president of the Newspaper Guild local, is asking his membership for a resolution condemning the blackout. Daily Record Managing Editor Eli F. Sliver, one of those present when...
...Died. Seymour E. Harris, 77, economist and adviser to Presidents; in San Diego. Harris spent more than 40 years at Harvard, where, with Paul Samuelson, J.K. Galbraith and others, he became an early advocate of then controversial Keynesian economics. As adviser to Candidate Adlai Stevenson and Presidents John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, Harris acted on his belief that economists should grapple with public issues. "I spend a great deal of my time on public policy," he said proudly. "I am concerned with concrete solutions...
