...have with this analysis is that they have misrepresented, as did eleven Princeton seniors in The Unsilent Generation (And isn't this silence bit getting confusing now?), the aspirations of their contemporaties. The Editor people say we're silent and inward-directed; the Princeton people, whom they cite with pride, are unsilent and inward-directed. Every-body else is, presumably at least, inward-directed, and all of us are different from our fathers, they...
...Said a resolution signed by 22 of Belgium's top museum directors and art teachers: "Often in the course of its history Belgium has had to witness, powerless, the destruction or pillage of its artistic patrimony. Once more, and this time without being able to cite the accident of bombardment or the whim of an invader, our country has just been dispossessed of an inestimable treasure, of the most important work in a Belgian private collection...
...support their commuter complaints, railroaders cite impressive statistics. The Southern Pacific says it spends 57? for every 48? of revenue from its 14,200 San Francisco commuters. The Illinois Central has netted a profit on its $42 million Chicago commuter facilities only twice since 1947. The I.C. says it needs a 55% fare boost just to get a 2.1% return. Its estimated $955,000 loss on the service this year will still be the lowest of any Chicago commuter line; Rock Island alone will drop $1,500,000. In Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania rings up a yearly $4,000,000 commuter...
...Insurance sent one Harry ("Stopper") Corke its blanks to fill out, got them back with a note from Corke scribbled on the back: "I do not need these cards. I haven't worked for 14 months. I get my living by thieving." As credentials, he could and did cite 23 convictions, two turns in Dartmoor Prison, and the invention of the "jump-up"-an athletic hijacking technique accomplished by jumping from the hood of a moving car over the tail gate of a truck just ahead...
Ibsen is one of drama's towering master builders. Yet many who admit this dismiss him as excellent for his time, but valuable now only as an admitted period-piece; they cite Doll's House and Ghosts. But they forget that Ibsen in his younger days wrote a sprawling, grandiose work that is timeless: Peer Gynt. And that Ibsen in his maturity wrote a far tighter master-piece whose power is equally timeless: The Master Builder. The HDC choice of a play could not have been better...
