...quickie sociologist is apt to tell us more of his own problems than of ours. Since Solzhenitsyn's life has been unhappily shaped by hard distinctions and persecuting dogma, he is understandably tempted to overvalue those weapons. He has become his own kind of hard dogmatist. He has brought with him the crusade that has cursed the older world. He seeks unity, virtue, morality, uniformity, dignity and - above all - "the right not to know." But these have very little to do with the mixed virtues - the virtues of compromise, decency, self-doubt, experiment - the meandering quest for community that...
...avoid mistakes and exploit the opportunity that lies before them. The revolution in women's athletics is a full, running tide, bringing with it a sea change?not just in activities, but in attitudes as well. Of sport and its role in preparing both sexes for adult life, Harvard Sociologist David Riesman says: "The road to the board room leads through the locker room." He explains that American business has been "socialized" by sport. "Teamwork provides us with a kind of social cement: loyalty, brotherhood, persistence." Riesman is one of a group of scholars who believe women have had trouble...
Much the same thing happened to James Cramer, a sociologist at the Georgetown University Institute of Criminal Law and Procedure. Cramer was hired for a one-year teaching job at Virginia Commonwealth University in 1973 and promised that he would be considered for a permanent job.

Last week in Israel 4,000 members of an organization called Peace Now lined up along the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway in a demonstration on behalf of that cause. The gentle protest hardly daunted the peppery Begin, who told a more militant group known as Secure Peace...
...cher ($5.95), was published in the U.S. last month by 21st Century Communications. Ten volumes of her work have appeared in France, and recent ones have sold more than 100,000 copies each. To Roland Barthes, a leading French writer-philosopher, Bretécher is "the best French sociologist." Nouvel Observateur Editor Jean Daniel calls her "the servant of Molière." Bretécher would answer such praise with her favorite epithet, "bidon" baloney...
