...still offers qualified praise for radical economists like Stephen A. Marglin '59 or other members of the Union of Radical Political Economists--for aiming at a historical perspective on economic systems. "I think if they'd let me I'd be more of an ally than I am," he says. "I don't like a narrow concentration on Marx--I think it should also include Weber and people like that. I also and not a socialist, and URPE people generally are socialists--I firmly believe in the mixed economy." For his part, Marglin says he agrees with Smithies's stress...
...well and not (as some reports have had it) dejected by recent diplomatic setbacks. In fact, while Kissinger was voluble and engaging at times, especially toward the end of the session, at other points he seemed ponderous and even petulant. Fairly typically, one longtime Kissinger-watcher, Brown University Historian Stephen Graubard, judged it "not a vintage" performance...
Last fall his unorthodox position became well-known when he and two other professors. Stephen J. Gould and S. Allen Counter Jr., taught Nat Sci 36, "Biological Determinism."

William Wendt is an Episcopal priest who has rarely flinched from trouble or feared innovation. His Church of St. Stephen and the Incarnation in Washington, D.C., has become one of the most liberal Episcopal congregations in the nation, active in the affairs of its neighboring ghetto and experimental in its liturgy. It was hardly surprising, therefore, that after eleven women were ordained in Philadelphia last summer as the first female Episcopal priests, Wendt was the first to open his church to one of them-Australia-born Alison Cheek, who celebrated the Eucharist there last November. Not only had the church...
