...conscientious scholarship, he demonstrates that Joyce's contribution is in development rather than in innovation. The stream of consciousness technique was not original with Joyce but he became perhaps its greater master. His universal knowledge, with which only someone of Levin's stature could cope, enable him to sum up within himself all the threads of his literary past, and his genius succeeded in spinning a web for the future, though the reader may be led astray along the way by the maze, and the spinner himself may become over absorbed in the pattern...
...greatest single military appropriation in all history-$12,500,000,000 for the Army-was made without a single dissenting vote; the Senate took only 27 minutes for debate.

Of course, a number of factors must be considered before wrath can be poured too generously upon the students' heads. The Student Council's drive earlier this year has taken a toll on the charity impulse of the student body, and the present campaign is an additional...
