...Times editors rationalize such benign neglect by noting that the largely blue-collar?and indigent no-collar?multitudes of Brooklyn and The Bronx are not Times readers (a defense the paper does not offer in covering other parts of the world). But Times people also claim that local coverage has improved since Sydney Schanberg became metropolitan editor in May, replacing Mitchel Levitas, who was moved sideways to edit the Sunday Week in Review section. Schanberg straightaway told his 100 or so metropolitan reporters that he wanted everybody "to have fun." Productivity has increased among reporters who were previously alienated, bored...
...dissatisfaction of some concentrators with the current circumstances in Afro does not limit itself to personalities alone. For several years, many students have criticized Southern's alleged neglect of Pan-Africanist perspectives in Afro course offerings, charging that the chairman wants to firmly establish an "Americo-oriented" approach to academic research in the department. Last year's decisions to withhold tenure from Isaac and Pierre-Michel Fontain, former lecturer on Afro-American Studies--both recognized Pan-Africanists--have been attributed directly to Southern's influence, and Afro concentrators Peter Hardie '77 and Bruce Jacobs '77 attacked these policies...

The report says these requirements are necessary to insure that all students are exposed to those significant intellectual skills and elements of culture that, given free choice, they might well neglect and later regret having done...
...Benign Neglect. There is nothing overtly spectacular about his work. Nor has his career ever shown the kind of violent oscillation between styles and influences that invites a rhetoric of "breakthroughs." So the general attitude toward him has been one of benign neglect. But the current retrospective of 65 works by Cavallon at the Neuberger Museum at Purchase, N.Y.-amplified by two Manhattan exhibits of 25 early Cavallon paintings at the Patricia Learmonth Gallery and nine late ones at the Gruenebaum Gallery-shows how unjust that neglect has been. It brings into full view one of the most lucid, steadfast...
Hofstadter's book rode a mainstream of the national experience. His words applied to the egghead-baiting and benign neglect of the '50s, but they were also prophetic for the drug culture of the '60s and the trivialized mysticism of the '70s. The Feminization of American Culture attempts to tap an underground current. It is that meandering flow of frustrations, veiled hostilities and confusions about power and innocence so common to the powerless...
