Sligar and Son has the air, at least, of being a drama of contemporary racial strife. The setting is a ghetto grocery store in pre-riot Newark. The characters refer to black people as "blacks" and white people as "honkies." Still, I have my doubts as to whether Hoye actually knows any more about the ghetto than Spiro Agnew. His one-act play is not about black power or slum despair or even law and order as much as he would like us to believe it is. Rather, it is the story of a simple white bigot whose son rejects...
John Kenneth Galbraith, peripatetic ambassador, author, political adviser and now professor at Harvard, took the occasion of his 60th birthday for a bit of mental meandering. On age: "I shan't be sorry when men begin to refer to me as old. But I'll be awfully sorry when women do." On politics: "Don't go near any political headquarters.

Predictably, the head of the GOP's ticket uses a softer approach to win applause at rallies. "Remember, I believe in our young people," Richard Nixon says. "They're great. Give 'em a chance." But Nixon accepts Agnew's remarks about protests, and the clear warning in his remarks is that any students who disappoint him by disrupting a university deserve to be punished...
...will begin with two speakers followed by a series of section meetings. The speakers will raise important issues, and the sections will discover that it disagrees with certain ideas, is uncertain about others, and is in confusion about yet others. At the end of each section, the group will refer to the reading lists and select a unit of readings to clarify the dispute and motivate further discussion. The class will do the readings and then return to the seminar to re-evaluate the old discussion and push it further into new areas and problems...
