...Farrell's Jew-hating young Brooklyn Irishman, a bellicose introvert who sells Father Moylan's Christian Justice, is a convincing individual in Tommy Gallagher's Crusade (Vanguard, $1), but the tract-like limitations of the story are implicit in the original title: Tommy Gallagher-American Storm Trooper. Mari Sandoz's third book, Capital City (Little, Brown, $2.50), lacks even a credible character.

More than that, it saw a triumph of a principle proclaimed since the beginning of the controversy by critics of the Administration's tenure policies. The Faculty's resolution--cautious and ambiguous though its terminology may have been--constituted an official sanction of the system of frozen associate professorships...
