...peach gown (designed, like all the other costumes, by Jose Varona) and carrying a parasol. It is not long before we realize that this Portia, in the hands of Barbara Baxley, is a thoughtless, superficial woman, and probably frigid to boot. Miss Baxley's nasal and mindless mode of speaking doesn't help much, either; she constitutes no improvement over Katharine Hepburn, who was so disastrous a Portia in the Festival's 1957 production...
...that hypothesis is true, then civilization has nothing much to brag about. Modern man does not constitute an end product, an exponential improvement of the aboriginal dowry, an evolutionary intellectual advance. He is merely another mode of human society, coexisting and coequal with the most primitive tribes that have somehow survived, despite seemingly naive and archaic customs, into the space age. The marvelous fruits of contemporary Western culture-technology, medicine, literature, TV, the H-bomb-show an exercise of the mind no more commendable or admirable than the savage's totems and bone beads. Today's philosophies reflect...
...stay ten years-give or take half of that-would be bad for the institution and bad for me," he says. He does not discuss his political aims, but few expect him to aim lower than a Senate seat.

...action in Vietnam today is justified precisely on the grounds of legal and moral principles for which a universal validity is bespoken. What we are fighting in Vietnam is, we are told, a reprehensible mode of behavior known as "aggression," contrasting with something else, which we are defending, known as "freedom." We would presumably be morally obliged to oppose "aggression" by force of arms wherever it raised its ugly head. The specifics of the situation, geographic, political or otherwise, are irrelevant. This commits us to action on the Asiastic mainland as much as in any other part of the globe...
...sample ex- pressed a "completely positive or partly positive attitude towards the fundamental elements of the system." No information was given, however, with respect to what constituted the "fundamental elements of the system" (i.e., a definition of socialism). The communist regimes will continue to have problems building a new mode of thinking, in creating the "new socialist man" so long as they fail to develop in the younger generation a belief in Marxism Leninism as a living doctrine. They will fail to the extent they are unsuccessful in developing in the minds of young people an identity between Marxism-Leninism...
