...manner in which they are run, all indicate that the university is responsive to the needs and requirements of the powers that be in Washington and Wall Street. The opening of former Columbia President Grayson Kirk's files in 1968 confirmed this. The products of the university all suggest anything but a broad faculty orientation. There is no shortage of professors who support Kissinger's general position; indeed, they form the overwhelming preponderance of professors. Many of them work closely with the government. The university, being tied so closely by money, direction and participation, not surprisingly reflects the basic power...
...proposals suggest ways of improving and simplifying existing programs, or try to provide public service jobs for the poor. The most comprehensive plan-and the one Carter is expected to adopt in some form or other-is known as Consolidated Cash Assistance with Jobs.

His memoirs too were made of whole cloth, the lubricious dreams of a suppressed...
...schism is complete. The vision is desolate, but Iggy sings with a knowing irony that rescues the lyrics from irrelevance. "Nightclubbing" manages to be ironic and sincere at once; the vacuous lyrics and monotonous melody, over an intriguing background of piano and synthesizer that creates a suitable cabaret mood, suggest self-ridicule and sorrow...
