...education will have when we leave Harvard's womb, and few of us can be certain of the answer. Some of us see, whatever other motives are involved, that lawyers and doctors are always in demand, and scurry off to professional schools; the rest of us wait and wonder...
Nicholas is the definitive antihero; he is also the definitive cliché. No wonder Fabre's life is a rubble of rejection slips. Unfortunately, the people who made Love at the Top have not demonstrated the same critical wisdom as Fabré's prospective publishers. They are swept away by the power of such insights as material success corrupts; bedfellows make strange politics; and cash calms many qualms.

The author also makes some unsupported generalizations such as the statement about E1 Mercurio, the opposition paper, being "funded by the CIA and ITT." I wonder what LeMoyne's sources are for saying this? The Communist Journal perhaps? During the entire editorial, he also criticizes American intervention in Chile. However, he also criticizes American neutrality during the coup itself. This is obviously an ideological contradiction. He seems to believe that American intervention in Chile would have...
