Wolfe bolsters his argument with a little historical run-through, drawing some interesting parallels to 19th century society. He even cites social thinkers- Vernon L. Parrington, Wolfe identifies as "the literary historian," while managing to cite the triad of Seymour Martin Lipset, Nathan Glazer, and Kenneth Keniston in one of the sentences that follows- but more in the way of demonstrating his own brand of Academic Chic. (Wolfe took a doctorate in American Studies from Yale, and, like many a modern-day journalist, still yearns to justify his existence to the boys in the ivory tower he left behind...
Wally Chao '72 of Mather House has won his choice of one dozen lollipops, a purple crayon or a pink pen in the CRIMSON children's book quiz. He answered 631/3 out of 75, plus getting the bonus question. Honorable mention also goes to the Welsh Triad (the Owl, the Unicorn and the Griffin) and to Miss Jansson's fifth grade class at the Summer St. School, Lynnfield...
Middle Class. Yet the elements of power are slowly changing. In the past three centuries, the only forces that mattered in any Latin country were the landed oligarchy, the Roman Catholic Church and the military.

Granting an interview to a worshipful young fan (Matthew Cowles), Hathaway utters the pomposity: "You get what you give." And that becomes the text for a murder that is as amusing as it is satisfying...
Spain's Vice President These statements recently electrified Spam, where protest is still a tentative testing affair. The speakers, representing the church and the armed forces earned the force of two powerful arms of the political triad that has supported the rule of Generalissimo Francisco Franco for 32 years (the third being the aristocracy). One man is a usually conservative cleric, pleading with the government to be more liberal; the other is the officer who administers Spain on a day-to-day basis, warning the country against liberalism. Both addressed themselves to the same phenomenon: the mood of questioning...
