There are two NR articles which may be of interest to those following
the Dartmouth Review business:
1. Fossedal, G.A. and D. D'Souza. 1981. Dartmouth's Restoration.
National Review 33:1071-1097 (Sept. 18, 1981). [It's really
not that long; many hops, skips, jumps, and advertisers.]
Fossedal was the first editor of the DR; D'Souza was editor
at the time of this NR article. Interesting reading.
2. Marcus, P.N. 1983. "Right On" on the campuses. National Review
35:1200-1201 (Sept. 30, 1983).
Marcus is, or was at the time of the article, president of the
Institute for Educational Affairs.

PS: If you dig up the Sept. 30, 1983 NR, don't miss "But can Juanito
really read?", p. 1196. It deals with the manner in which illiteracy
is eradicated in new Communist regimes [oops! new regimes which, in
the opinion of the author of the piece, are Communist regimes! wouldn't
want to ruffle any feathers!]. Examples: According to C. Dickey of
the Washington Post, re: Nicaragua: "Now Alvarado can sign his name
and sound out such sentences in the basic government-supplied primer
as 'The violin is new' and 'The guerrillas vanquished the genocidal
National Guard.'" According to the New York Times (1961), re: Cuba:
"Instead of 'a' for apple, the primer has 'a' for 'agrarian reform.'
The 'c' stands for 'cooperatives of the peasants.'"
