...artistic taste and freedom of information to all minorities however wrong-thinking they may be, the press is permitted to be vulgar, if not suggestive, to be just as offensive as it likes to "right-thinking people." By FCC doctrine as laid down by Mr. McNinch, the radio may reflect only views and tastes agreeable to one group, those whom FCC defines as "right-thinking" peonle. Mr. McNinch went on still further to restrict the field of radio. He wrote...
...architectural first principle whose modernistic practice is currently labeled "functionalism." The same label can be applied to the literary practice of certain contemporary poets whose poems, like "functionalist" buildings, are constructed with a marked weather eye on the modern living conditions they are meant to reflect or relieve. As distinct from the Symbolist, Surrealist, Imagist or Metaphysical poets, who seem to borrow from Music, Psychology, Painting and Mathematical Physics their respective poetic first principles, these poets seem to borrow theirs from the demotic art of Architecture.

For example, until the latest increases the dining-hall employees were paid below the most liberal rates outside, and even the increases leave the waitresses poorly paid if they are compared with workers in the best restaurants. Likewise, Harvard cannot...
...College does nothing to stop them beforehand, students are not free to run about the streets at night disturbing the peace, though such things have been known to happen, or to use Boston as the taking off spot for a round of riotous living, riotous living which can only reflect discredit on him who indulges and on the Harvard which does not hinder him. The price of living in a civilized society is paid by not murdering anyone whom you happen to dislike, or running off indiscriminately with other peoples' wives. Likewise the price of attending a liberal institution...
