...POINT the critic himself proves guilty of a kind of inauthenticity. Momentarily blind to his own cultural ethnocentricity. Trilling implies that authenticity is a superior, "more strenuous" moral experience than sincerity: "A very considerable originative power had once been claimed for sincerity, but nothing to match the marvelous the generative force that our modern judgement assigns to authenticity, which implies the downward movement through all the cultural superstructure to some place where all movement ends, and begins." This largely uncritical statement ignores the actuality that all paradigms in their time--even, probably, the paradigm of sincerity make that same implied...
...about future policies at the GSAS began meeting last week. All twelve student representatives are members of the Union's Steering Committee and are dedicated to advancing the Union's policies. Union strength on the Committee on Graduate Education and the Commission on Graduate Education exists despite Dunlop's strenuous attempts to minimize the organization's influence.

Seizing a weekend is none of this Adams House Oktoberfest stuff. It means hopping a ride to Princeton, N.J. and putting up with two days of strenuous life-experience.

The unidentified attacker was then restrained by friends. Why the attack? Apparently McNamara has dismayed the Vineyard's community of nude swimmers by buying a beach where they...
Once changed by the conservative Finance Committee, the bill faced strenuous opposition on the left from the more liberal Senators. It was clear that the Administration would have to be willing to accept a compromise. One promising proposal came from Connecticut Democratic Senator Abraham Ribicoff. The "Ribicoff-Administration" measure, as the Senator called it, set the guaranteed annual income for a family of four at $2,600 and stipulated that it rise automatically with the cost of living. It also stated that no welfare recipient would be required to take a job that paid below the minimum wage...
