...such intellectual detachment would mean the adoption of other, more alien, sensibilities. Judging from the nature of disinterested baseball lovers at Harvard, I suspect I would have to learn how to read only those box-scores that are over ten years old, to develop a compassion for the charred skeleton of Connie Mack Stadium, to preserve the line- ups of the Hitless Wonders and the Whiz Kids, to prepare a comparison of Satchel Paige and Walter Johnson...
...screenplay for The Ruling Class, but here he is never as heavy-handed or simply dull as he was in parts of that film. But Barnes' inspired recreation of the House of Lords, shown in The Ruling Class as a stately chamber filled with several hundred mouldy, spider-webbed skeletons madly clapping their metacarpals and rapturously singing "Dem Bones Gonna Rise", is echoed in Carlos' court by the skeleton of St. Ignatius, whose clacking about is easily translated by courtiers attuned to such things.

Any other candidates, particularly Democrats, had better be damned certain they've looked through all their closets lest there be a skeleton lurking there...

The thunder in this area has already been stolen by such schools as Antioch, where students divide their time equally between classroom study and employment on the outside. But such a program leaves the student to integrate these two antipodal experiences on his own. It is in providing the framework for a synthesis of theoretical and practical education that Harvard can serve as a pioneer...
