...cultural statement, or just plain good fun? Fortunately though, editor Jim Miller (a teacher of political philosophy at the University of Texas and a frequent contributors to Rolling Stone magazine) has pretty much steered this volume clear of ideology and excess. Most of the 26 contributors have written straightforward, informative and entertaining articles on the areas of their own special interest or expertise. The subjects include discussions of singers, songwriters and well-known studios, covering the range from Rhythm and Gospel, Rockabilly, Doo-Wop, Motown, the British Invasion, the Sounds of Memphis, Philadelphia, San Francisco and more. Up through...
...telling the truth? Bronfman's story had the virtue of being straightforward: the Seagram heir testified that a man he did not know grabbed him on a humid August night last year as he was parking his car at his mother's estate in Purchase, N.Y.

Ford's chief campaign asset was probably his character. The President appeared straightforward and reliable. Only his pardon of Nixon was held against him as a moral question mark. Ford hoped that his openness would have more appeal to the voters than Carter's enigmas...
...Finally, an educated individual should have achieved depth in some field of knowledge. Here I have in mind something that lies between the levels of professional competence and superficial acquaintance. In Harvard terminology it is called a "concentration." The theory is straightforward: cumulative learning is an effective way to develop a student's powers of reasoning and analysis. It is expected that in every concentration students will gain sufficient control of the data, theory and methods to define the issues in a given problem, develop the evidence and arguments that may reasonably be advanced on the various sides of each...
