...Lebanon is being used as a transit area for Syrian-based commandos, which in Israeli eyes makes Lebanon equally culpable. It would take an army of 40,000 men to patrol the border properly. Since there are only 15,000 men in the Lebanese army, the fedayeen raids will doubtless continue, and so, likely, will Israeli reprisals...
Only an eccentric poet like Roy Campbell, the clerical reactionary, has attempted satire in formal rhymed Popian couplets, and perhaps only W. H. Auden has succeeded in didactic eloquence within a variety of formal, traditional stanzas. Doubtless, the exact antipode of Pope's Augustan order would be the artless, extemporaneous effusions that issue from the flower children of the modern coffee house-quite a different breed from an 18th century coffee house. "A thousand years may elapse," Dr. Johnson said, "before there shall appear another man with a power of versification equal to that of Pope." With a quarter...
...position from which to start working for a volunteer army is that, to a large extent, the nation already has one-in the sense that two-thirds of its present troops are enlistees. Neither Nixon nor anyone else visualizes a rapid changeover. The draft will doubtless endure until the war in Viet Nam ends, but it could then be phased out gradually. After that, the draft structure can be kept in stand-by readiness, thinks Nixon, "without leaving 20 million young Americans who will come of age during the next decade in constant uncertainty and apprehension...
...used indiscriminately on yippies, newsmen and bystanders, even won it some measure of sympathy. Essentially, the movement remains devoted to what Hoffman calls a "free America," by which he means an America in which no body has to pay for anything. In the upcoming Nixon Administration, the YIP will doubtless find ample targets for further demonstrations-perhaps an attempt to levitate the Treasury Building. Nothing violent, though. Alone among all the anti-Establishment revolutionary forces in the U.S., YIP doesn't believe in it. "Although I admire the revolutionary art of the Black Panthers," says Abbie, "I feel guns...
Broadway hails fair-to-middling work as genius so long as it succeeds. Along Shubert Alley, the ultimate critic is the box office, and Promises, Promises will doubtless satisfy that arbiter of taste. The show follows all the hallowed tac tics for promoting mediocrity into success. One does not gamble with $500,-000; one invests in the imitation of past successes. That means: Don't create -crib. Thus the plot line of Promises, Promises is derived from the Billy Wilder-I.A.L. Diamond film The Apartment, which was far sharper in lancing U.S. sexual hypocrisy, and the structure...
