...human insanities as patriotism, the brink, and men who take themselves too seriously. High hopes are held for Brecht's Jungle of the Cities, which is opening now. Unfortunately, this is far from the poet's finest work, though New York seems ready for good Brecht. The Wall, by Millard Lampell, is a good reminder of the Nazi atrocities, but it is too reminiscent of Diary of Anne Frank in style and tone. Moreover, the hero is finally convinced of the necessity of resistance by a spirit of mystical heroism, rather than by the wall at his back. It seems...
From Buffalo, the second largest city of the state and the hub of heavily industrialized Erie County, Millard Brown, chief editorial writer of the Evening News, told the CRIMSON yesterday: "There's a pretty substantial Kennedy movement here, and he's pretty popular among suburban Republicans...
...Wall (by Millard Lampell; based on John Hersey's novel), rather than enclosing something dramatically, restricts and obstructs it. The harrowing chronicle of the Jews of Warsaw, first made ghetto captives by the Nazis, then robbed of homes and dignity and freedom until in enormous numbers they were sent "East" and fiendishly robbed of life, explodes its horrors over and over again.

Rather than quivering with a Whitmanesque "I am the man, I suffer'd, I was there." Lampell's lines come all too close to the sentimen tal and the stagy...
Flunkees & Indians. The answer is a pudgy, cyclonic Presbyterian minister named Millard Roberts, 41, who had made an impressive record as fund raiser for Manhattan's Brick Presbyterian Church. Swirling in as president in 1955, he treated Parsons like a sick factory. To beef up sales, Roberts fanned fast-talking admissions men throughout the Midwest and the East. He freely discounted freshman fees and even more freely solicited flunkees from other colleges. He welcomed high school graduates in the bottom half of their classes, and took some who stood dead last. Almost anyone with...
