Good grounds do exist, however, for holding that the J.B. boosters tend to think of the Saturday Review as the house organ of higher culture in America. For it was from there, a year ago last May, that the first salvo of literary enthusiasm was discharged, by the noted American poet and fearless antagonist of Anne Morrow Lindbergh, John Ciardi. "Archibald MacLeish's J.B. is great poetry, great drama, and--as far as my limitations permit me to sense it--great stagecraft," he proclaimed in the opening sentence of his article, "The Birth of a Classic."

Another effect of quota relaxations may be to prompt U.S. manufacturers to design goods specifically for European markets.

But this problem is not serious; the School does not have a faculty of its own. Rather, it is a cooperative venture of the various social sciences departments. Patterson doubts that a discipline called "Public and International Affairs" really exists, and the School does not try to develop a new discipline, but to offer an inter-disciplinary approach to certain problems...
