...hints have let the cat out of the bag, but he seems to be determined to play no further role in the developing controversy. He said in August he has no desire to push for a referendum or a Faculty vote. There seems to be little reason yet to disbelieve him. The Right will apparently have to look beyond Mass Hall for support in the upcoming struggle...
...camera is another matter. Dark and vivacious, she is in perpetual motion, hands gesticulating, expressions changing like neon signs. Her conversation is a Catherine wheel of intelligent, breathlessly unfinished sentences about a dozen topics from Watergate to cat breeding to the weaknesses in the Stanislavsky method of acting.

Richards wouldn't have said it if he hadn't believed it was true, any more then the theist or atheist volunteers of for that matter the cat who would not refrain from clawing the furniture when he thought that was in the nature of cats. So I decided and still decide that I liked I.A. Richards, and I liked the theist an atheist volunteers, and I liked the cat, and with all its failings I even like Harvard...
