...When all has been said about Nasser, history may eventually come round to characterizing him as a "congenital liar" as early as the Suez crisis in 1956. History may even record that, charisma or no, the trail of debacles that marked the "progress" of this kiss-and-stab leader could be hallowed only by a people whose emotional orientation is permeated with no small measure of masochism. As for Nasser's ousting of the British from Egypt in the 1950s, it now remains for some more charismatic pharaoh to tackle the sterner task of, ejecting the Tovarish from...
...Professor Riesman seems to have understood the point I tried to make on October 20 during the faculty meeting's discussion of curriculum reform. Since this point is, I think, of some importance, allow me to restate it here. All of the administrative items raised in Dean May's progress report on curriculum review seem to me to embody and entail basic conceptions about undergraduate education at Harvard.

They share a love of the land, the ocean and particularly the sky, and an eloquence in describing their feelings about such things: "At night when I stand on the beach and look at the stars, I wonder why man describes as progress the science which screens such beauty from his life...
...anything but choice. Lindbergh has often been accused of having been singularly unmoved by a postwar visit to a German concentration camp. Not so. "Here was a place," he wrote, "where men and life and death had reached the lowest form of degradation. How could any reward in national progress even faintly justify the establishment and operation of such a place?" But he felt a compulsion to link, even to equate, the Nazi horror and attempted genocide with atrocities committed by other nations, especially his own, on the field of battle...
