...America seemed both workable and working. It allowed us the luxury of growing up in peace and security: Unlike those who preceded or those who followed us, we were not expected to fight or die for our country. The grievances of poverty, race and inequality were no less valid than they are today, but we were largely unaware of them. And so, for most of us they did not exist. Hypocritical? Yes. Smug? That too -insufferably so. But then so was the country. If the decade of the '50s had the suffocating "smell of the middle class," as Gloria...
...line is heard almost as often as the one about Viet Nam having been a mistake: even the angriest critics of the young concede that "they have a point, they have some valid criticisms."

The Harvard and Radcliffe career planning offices should merge, and could without the loss of record-keeping for women. The effects of separate offices are much worse than a merged one could be. Large firms send recruiters to Harvard to find management trainees, highly skilled scientists, and other jobs requiring good minds and good educations. The same companies go to Radcliffe to recruit secretaries. If both sexes were under the same planning office, such discrimination would...
