...impose opinions by votes. Issues are of such importance that they and they alone must be of overriding concern to everyone. Meanwhile the most extreme ofour radical groups-like similar groups in all periods of history-have latterly moved on to a position where they unashamedly work to stifle dissent among their own members-that is to say, they have become less and less participatory, rather, more and more coercive, increasingly disdaining the rights of minorities within or without, and again like extreme rightist groups of other ages, advancing in righteous indignation, have now turned increasingly to violence and force...
From the Back. Not everybody agrees on the importance of the works. Part of the dissent is ideological. The count's title was bestowed on him by Mussolini after he made a politic gift of several statues and other art objects to the Castel Sant' Angelo in Rome. Part is sheer Italian snobbery. Contini-Bonacossi was the son of peasants, who made his fortune in South America by methods that are still muffled in obscurity. When he returned to Florence, he set himself up as an art dealer and put his collection together between...
...fatal blow in 1934, when Clark Gable stripped off his shirt in It Happened One Night to reveal only a bare chest underneath. Suddenly this summer, the undershirt is very much back in-but not as an undergarment.

Another area of policy dissent is the lesbian issue. For years, men automatically shrugged off demands for female equality by labeling complainants "nothing but lesbians." The charge is manifestly unfair?a "lavender herring" at best, as Author Susan Brownmiller notes ?but women in the movement are supersensitive about the issue. So much so, in fact, that many lesbians have split from the movement to "combat," as Lois Hart wrote to the New York Times, "oppression at the hands of their straight sisters. They bravely talk about liberating themselves from dehumanizing sexual-role definitions, but then employ the same odious...
...More important, Joe Rhodes believes that disorder on campus is only a part of the country's cultural upheaval, and it is to this problem that he intends to speak. "I'm not interested," he says, "in finding ways to solve campus unrest if that means damping out student dissent. My ultimate goal is to tell the President in no uncertain terms what can be done to save lives this fall." He means throughout the country, not just on the campus. "We're like a vast system only a few millimeters from building up to its explosive point...
