...Doubtless another interviewer might find subjects who are not so graceful, people embittered or trivialized by circumstance. But no other interviewer has Terkel's ability to elicit such deep response; and no one can duplicate his fundamental faith in the general-and specific-public. In American Dreams that belief is ratified by a multitude who prefer enlightenment to opulence and stability to success. In So Long!, Walt Whitman boasted, "This is no book,/ Who touches this touches a man." Who touches the book of American Dreams touches not one but a hundred men and women and, by implication, millions...
...Carter Administration has so far resisted pressure from protectionists. The Council of Economic Advisers argues that each auto industry job saved would cost American consumers up to $100,000 through higher car prices. Without the competition from Japanese imports, American producers could doubtless increase their prices. Propping up a sickly industry by restricting the imports of foreign products is not the way to help the U.S. economy, American consumers or even the industry itself...
...fast, hard fall of the U.S. auto industry will doubtless rank as one of the most remarkable collapses in the annals of American business. Even makers of horse-drawn carriages and buggy whips did not see their markets and profits disappear so quickly. Just 18 months ago, Detroit was fearful that it could not build enough big V-8-powered sedans to meet consumer demand. The industry in 1978 rang up $3 billion in profits. One hot-selling car: the $6,300 Oldsmobile Cutlass. It got a modest twelve miles to the gallon, but it had lots of vroom...
...albums, The Great Santini had a hard time making itself heard. The film bivouacked in one town after another, opening to sympathetic reviews and closing to public indifference. Its distributor, Orion Pictures, sold the film to airlines and cable networks as a mild soporific for weary travelers and viewers. Doubtless, it was seen as nothing more than an up-scale TV movie, with its careful pacing, liberal humanism and "small" subject: the family. Now Santini has found an almost posthumous success in a Manhattan bijou. Critics helped lead the right audience to it: fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, young...
...will finally wind up at point C, where they more often than not will send you back to A. At registration, you will get a course catalogue. You will also be able to get a Confi Guide, which you will need to select your courses intelligently. You will doubtless gape at the swirl of activity going on around you, and be weighed down by a barrage of materials. This is the Harvard Experience? you will ask. Just wait for sectioning next week...
