Description
Few individuals have participated so diversely in the cultural and political life of both the nation and the world as Galbraith. The Harvard economist was ambassador to India and an author and journalist. This volume brings together short pieces published over the past three decades and includes his views on world affairs, domestic politics and literary matters. Arranged in nine parts, the essays deal with a variety of subjects, and include the author's prefaces to some writers' works, letters to newspapers, and travel observations. Topics include: arms control, affirmative action, St. Pierre syndrome, constitutional reform at Harvard, academic tenure, W.G. Archer and the paintings of India, and the paintings of Hussein. Also presents portraits and remembrances of John Kennedy, Eleanor Roosevelt, Gunnar and Alva Myrdal, and David Niven, and comments on Hemingway, Mencken and Barbara Ward. ISBN 0-395-35319-X: $17.95.
