...divine sacrifice and is proceeding to regeneration. In Blake's poetry. Frye sees an attempt to regain this single unified vision unadorned of all the trappings of his surrounding world. "His attitude of mind is a kind of reverent Philistinism, with a broad humor that delights to spread banana peelings in the paths of heroes, a simple pleasure in seeing the aura of sanctity around the traditional arcana as a fog, and a tough honesty that continues to repeat that war is always damnable and tyranny always stupid and persecution always evil, however 'necessary' at any given moment...

Although Harvard maintains that its actions are motivated by administrative necessities...

Apparently a second Monty Python movie, called Monty Python and the Holy Grail, is showing in Los Angeles, but if you're not going to LA for spring break you'll have to settle for this superb, incredibly funny film. Channel 2 has started showing Monty Python TV episodes and they've been phenomenally successful in the ratings, outdrawing even "Upstairs, Downstairs," so it looks like Dennis Moore and Mr. Verity and the Man From The Cat Detector Van will be around...
