...historian by training (Ph.D., Tufts, '61), sociologist by bent, politician by inclination, and intellectual gadfly by design. He stirred a furor that has not yet subsided with a 1965 report on the disintegration of the Negro family. When he turned 40 last March, his Cambridge staff placed an array of hats on his desk with the note: "To the only man we know who could wear them all so well...
...productions of a varied, venturesome repertory made it, said one Lincoln Center official, "the most exciting opera company in the world." Last week the Hamburgers, the first foreign company invited to appear in the Metropolitan's new house, justified their advance billing by stylishly bringing off a daunting array of New York premieres: a vividly atmospheric Lulu, by Alban Berg; a vocally polished and forceful Mathis der Maler, by Paul Hindemith; and a flowing and convincingly dramatic Jacobovsky and the Colonel, by Giselher Klebe...

It could hold its own against almost any array of Arab armies, provided that the Arabs did not unite into a single force. What alarms Israel this time is the way in which the Arabs, though continuing to fight and squabble among themselves, have nonetheless joined firm ranks against Israel. Despite its superior military prowess, Israel might be hard pressed indeed...
