Others predict that the academic recession will foster intellectual dullness on many campuses. As they see it, conservative administrators are likely to cow unorthodox graduate students and young teachers who lack tenure. Those who speak out may be forced out. Still, job insecurity may also curb the intellectual arrogance that afflicts some graduate students. "I've rarely seen such deference from Ph.D. candidates," says Harvard Sociologist Seymour Martin Lipset. "They're becoming obsequious again." For his part, M.I.T.

In the past few years, though, a new excitement has been stirred by organ playing and composing, thanks largely to the talent of a brilliant German organist and unorthodox composer named Gerd Zacher...
...merchant, the two characters whose triumphs have been bought at the cost of Shylock's downfall, pause alone and silently onstage before the final curtain. The moment apparently is intended by Director Miller to evoke Shylock, and it works. Such is the flinty power of Olivier's unorthodox performance that his unseen presence dominates the stage at that moment as few actors ever do when they are actually...
