Ecologist Barry Commoner, a vehement foe of mindless growth, considers Meadows' treatment of pollution "quite simplistic." It assumes that more growth inevitably means more pollution. Yet the alarming rise in pollution, says Commoner, has been caused not by growth per se but by changes in the composition of growth-for example, the postwar shifts from soaps to detergents. Shifting back to cleaner (and costlier) products and techniques could decrease pollution much more than the Meadows team foresees, while permitting output to continue rising. In essence, the Meadows team projected current trends into the future without analyzing how man might...
...CFIA TRASHING was condemned almost unanimously by the community. President Bok said it was an action with "no purpose to be gained other than mindless violence." The Crimson editorially condemned the attack "without qualification" and characterized it as "aimless violence." Daniel Steiner '54, general counsel to the University, estimated that about $25,000 damage had been done to the building.

After a while he goes on to Lucienne, who is even more tractable and whose "mindless beauty" seems to him "divine...
Malcolm did mean deliverance. Deliverance from mindless bigotry and the bowing and scraping of the integrationist approach of the 1960's. He heralded a new day in the struggle for freedom. The Autobiography of Malcolm X, though rough in spots and limited by the scarcity of documentary footage of Malcolm's life, gives a compassionate view of the man most responsible for shaping the course of the present black revolution, a man who was not afraid to die, but called for freedom "by any means necessary...
