Having served under Ambassador Moynihan in India, I can appreciate that you understand his talents and idiosyncrasies. His appointment gives us, at long last, a spokesman of courage and conviction. His forthright manner was bound to disturb the U.N. I suggest that some Churchillian growls of support from Britain's representative would have been more appropriate than the petulant laments of a piqued neo-Chamberlain...
Such developments suggest a disproportionate influence by news gatherers on public opinion. Critics have been examining this issue for more than a century. Typically it has not been the affirmative character of the media that has attracted most attention, but their critical functions, the standing challenge they present to constituted authority. Visiting the U.S. in the 1840s, Charles Dickens blamed the press for practically every kind of moral degeneration, noting that "with ribald slander for its only stock in trade, it is the standard literature of an enormous class who must find their reading in a newspaper" or nowhere...
...Long Goodbye. The Big Question these days among movie-people is who Altman is going to cast in Ragtime. Jagger, springsteen and Dylan all want to play the anarchist younger brother and The Village Voice ran a contest in the midst of last summer's doldrums asking readers to suggest casting. In the meantime, Altman's movies are showing everywhere. The Long Goodbye is his funniest and most coherent. Elliot Gould simply deteriorated after his performance here as Philip Marlowe--by California Split he was in love with himself, utterly enchanted by his own idiosyncracies. Such narcissism shall not pass...
While the "fruitful affiliation" resolution recommended by CHUL will not come up before the meeting today, administrators are also uneasy with its provision that "a system of fruitful affiliation of freshmen with the Houses be established." As the words "fruitful affiliation" might suggest, the committee never stated specifically what kind of connection it wanted between first-year students and Houses. The tie might mean that freshmen would eat their weekend meals at a single House throughout the entire freshman year. This plan would replace the present system under which freshmen rotate their meals between as many as eight Houses until...
This different social development, though, is important for all of us to understand, as Frye seems to suggest when he says "true indoctrination is the real social function of literature." In other words, those few who understand how particular forms of popular literature reflect a different social development will be able to control a lot of people. In the past Romance has largely been "kidnapped," according to Frye, by the ascendant classes. But new forms always rise up out of the anonymous people. Frye concludes that the study of literature, or at least a part of it, should teach students...
