...Crimson is wrong when it suggests that "the only way to eliminate...insensitivity is to [racially] integrate the places where it occurs." The placement of more Third World students in White-dominated institutions does little good if these students are not actively encouraged to express their points of view. Moreover, it represents an abdication of responsibility to claim that the only way for The Crimson to be more sensitive to Third World issues is for more Third World students to join The Crimson. The Crimson says, in other words, "It's your fault. You have to come...
...straightshooting manner that is extraordinarily winning. She is bright, wry, self-amused without being selfabsorbed. Jameson Parker, as a blond, bland Waspy square (he's pre-med), is perhaps a tad too deep into his role, appealing without being truly interesting.

Later came certain movies (Midnight Express and The Deer Hunter, for example) that were fascinating in their allegory: each portrayed American youth abroad, wholesome and handsome and lovable, yet in the grips of foreigners as evil as reptiles. This winter, Americans have been inclined to think that reality (whether in Tehran or Bogota) has confirmed the allegory. U.S. citizens are held hostage far from home; the dangerous and primitive outer world does not play by the rules, it seems. The Soviet Union rolls over...
...rise in 'Taiwan consciousness' and a real cry against martial law," Arrigo said. "I would say that it was a major step forward in strengthening the identity of the Taiwan people, but whatever will happen now may not be pleasant, but it is a pleasure to see the people express themselves," she added...
