Courtesy of the April 14, 1972 issue of Bill Buckley’s brassy fortnightly, three editorial treats: Curtis Cate wonders what to do with West Berlin, and investigates possible political ends to the Western-Soviet (growing) tensions in the divided capitol; A. Lawrence Chickering looks at the motives and reasons behind the Left’s appeal to minority groups; and anthropologist Pierre Szamek tells of how he lost his job as a professor at a New Jersey university—not because of incompetence, poor performance, or even student dissatisfaction, but because the infamous Greek colonels gave him an anthropology award. An early example of political correctness brought to you by National Review.
