...conservative, but he might not be accepted as such by most who wear that label. He does not automatically distrust a strong central government, but sees it as beneficial if it truly reflects the will of the people. More significantly, he thinks free enterprise is no more valid as a foundation for an economy than the notion that, in a free marketplace of ideas, the best ideas will necessarily prevail. No conventional conservative could have written his account of Spiro Agnew, in whom he feels, "America's old dimmed-puritan mixture still works-morals without religion, a peremptory must...
...surprisingly, Brown has been strongly influenced by John Cage, the father of aleatory, or "chance," music. But he no longer agrees with Cage's belief that random aberrations in a performance are as valid artistically as the composed parts.

If Kissinger makes another Vietnam, students will presumably protest his re-appointment to Harvard. One has to wait and see what happens each time. No unconditional guarantee of principle can be assumed...
Romeo and Juliet, Franco Zeffirelli's second film, is an honorable job of audience, grabbing romanticism, a fascinating and valid reading of the text (particularly those parts which concern Juliet), and a hell...
