Considering also Deutscher's studies of Russia, Horowitz shows that the intervention did not stop the revolution itself but did succeed in freezing European revolt. The consequences rebounded back to Russia provoking Stalin's theory of "socialism in one country." In effect, Russia had to rethink completely the role of its revolution: Russia would have to stand alone despite Lenin and Trotsky's earlier admonition against such prospects. Above all, the Russian Revolution succeeded in turning the focus of revolution from industrialized Europe to the third world: the center of imperialism...
...accident that educational innovation at Harvard is a joke-that it concerns itself with which rule to substitute for which. Before we can have substantive changes. students will have to rethink how they got here. why they have come, where they want to go, and how they want to get there. When the students begin to take hold of their academic lives at least to the extent that they have of their domestic living arrangements, their education may begin to improve. Some of the faculty may be able to help, but they cannot (and should not) lead...

I had been wasting all of my energy figuring out how to destroy, when I could...
Heaving out the old curriculum, Allen & Co. reorganized departments into multidisciplinary "centers" that must rethink their goals every three years or automatically go out of business. Though timid undergraduates may still take old-fashioned teaching-methods courses, the adventuresome are free to gather credits where they may. In the "humanistic education" center, for example, students and professors join modified encounter groups to pinpoint the elusive emotional problems that may baffle them and the children they will teach. A doctoral student recently got credit for one self-designed unit of "watching Dwight Allen." Students also practice-teach while living full time...
