...Many more people, for example, should want to be drug counselors. But the same number of investment-banking jobs are out there as before. Certainly, now that sex is not the same sanctioned, repressed activity that it was twenty years ago, romance has just changed its location from public space to private bedroom. If the press and the '60s generation is giving the wrong impression, what can our slandered generation do? Only hope that not everyone believes everything he or she reads...

So why this direct contradiction of University policy? If Harvard allows ROTC on campus, it has an obligation to permit occasional "final clubs" meetings as well...
MILES DAVIS: AURA (Columbia). Miles used to play jazz -- a melody with a beat. Now he's into music whose electronically enhanced formlessness resembles nothing so much as the sound track of a space movie. That would be great if only we had the flick to go along with...
