...fact, the military junta in Chile is following the Indonesian model, both in its military operation against the Left (the military coup in September 1973 against Salvador Allende was called "Operation Jakarta"), and its model of economic development (the cooperation between the military leaders and the economic technocrats, the "Berkeley Mafia" in the case of Indonesia, "los Chicago boys" in the case of Chile). Thus the choice of Professor Harberger as the HIID's director is not something surprising. It is the logical implementation of the basic economic philosophy that has been followed by HIID...
...York Times Columnist Anthony Lewis decided to probe this account of cynical legal horse-trading, which the book suggested was based on the recollection of an unnamed former Brennan clerk. Lewis found the ex-clerk, Paul R. Hoeber, now a law professor at the University of California at Berkeley. Hoeber denied that he told Woodward and Armstrong anything of the sort; he insists that Brennan voted with Blackmun only because he felt that the facts of the case required him to do so. (The authors say they stand by their account...
...balloon out of a possible four. Among her criticisms: "Razzle-dazzle obliterates story." Well, in All That Jazz, Fosse has integrated the razzle-dazzle into the movie's themes with solemn thoroughness. It's a clever idea to present a choreographer's nightmares as gaudy, Dantesque versions of Busby Berkeley, but the movie has four of these sequences and they're not short. (They account for approximately 30 minutes.) Fosse has never before failed to find weird beauty in sleaze, but these numbers are gaudy and ugly beyond the call of duty, cinematically uninteresting despite the cutting and zooming...
...another, the protesters were outnumbered by students who had gathered near by to be entertained by a mime and a punk-rock group. And on the fringes of the antidraft crowd, Joseph Taylor, a black graduate student in psychology, voiced a view that would hardly have been heard at Berkeley during the Viet Nam War. Said he: "This is a sincere effort on the part of the students, but they are not seeing the whole picture. We have the freedom in this country to talk this way. We also have a responsibility for the freedoms we enjoy. I wouldn...
...reason for the initial lack of opposition is the widespread belief that the Soviet Union is an aggressor. Said Berkeley Mathematics Professor Stephen Smale, who demonstrated against the Viet Nam War and is now the father of a draft-age son: "That gives [draft registration] a different character. It's a long way from what happened in the 1960s." Paul Ginsberg, dean of students at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, cited another reason for the relative quiet: "The vast majority of students were only 10 or 11 when we last had a draft. They are only vaguely aware...
