The terrible blow of the New Year put an end to that project.

It takes place in the household, a rite of well-wishing for myriad occasions -- for the traveler, a wedding, a newborn child, the sick, the New Year, for any good purpose.

You've been away from home for the New Year festivities, but now the party is over and you come home.

A year after he was catapulted over nine officers senior to him and made commandant of the Marine Corps, General David M. Shoup delivered a peppery annual report in the form of a `` happy, warless New Year '' greeting to his Pentagon staff.

Had the situation been reversed, had, for instance, England been the enemy in 1898 because of issues of concern chiefly to New England, there is little doubt that large numbers of Southerners would have happily put on their old Confederate uniforms to fight as allies of Britain.

There is a New South emerging, a South losing the folksy traditions of an agrarian society with the rapidity of an avalanche -- especially within recent decades.

It would be interesting to know how much `` integration '' there is in the famous, fashionable colleges and prep schools of New England.

It is a question which New Englanders long ago put out of their minds.

It is true that New England, more than any other section, was dedicated to education from the start.

Was it supposed, perchance, that A & M ( vocational training, that is ) was quite sufficient for the immigrant class which flooded that part of the New England world in the post-Civil War period, the immigrants having been brought in from Southern Europe, to work in the mills, to make up for the labor shortage caused by migration to the West??

And it is clearly argued by Lord Percy of Newcastle, in his remarkable long essay, The Heresy Of Democracy, and in a more general way by Voegelin, in his New Science Of Politics, that this same Rousseauan idea, descending through European democracy, is the source of Marx's theory of the dictatorship of the proletariat.

The young William Faulkner in New Orleans in the 1920's impressed the novelist Hamilton Basso as obviously conscious of being a Southerner, and there is no evidence that since then he has ever considered himself any less so.

In answer to a New York Times query on what is fame ( `` Thoughts On Fame '', October 23, 1960 ), Carl said: `` Fame is a figment of a pigment.

His credulity is perhaps best illustrated in his introduction to The Emancipation Of Massachusetts, which purports to examine the trials of Moses and to draw a parallel between the leader of the Israelite exodus from Egypt and the leadership of the Puritan clergy in colonial New England.

There is, of course, nothing new about dystopias, for they belong to a literary tradition which, including also the closely related satiric utopias, stretches from at least as far back as the eighteenth century and Swift's Gulliver's Travels to the twentieth century and Zamiatin's We, Capek's War With The Newts, Huxley's Brave New World, E. M. Forster's `` The Machine Stops '', C. S. Lewis's That Hideous Strength, and Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, and which in science fiction is represented before the present deluge as early as Wells's trilogy, The Time Machine, `` A Story Of The Days To Come '', and When The Sleeper Wakes, and as recently as Jack Williamson's `` With Folded Hands '' ( 1947 ), the classic story of men replaced by their own robots.

Since the great flood of these dystopias has appeared only in the last twelve years, it seems fairly reasonable to assume that the chief impetus was the 1949 publication of Nineteen Eighty-Four, an assumption which is supported by the frequent echoes of such details as Room 101, along with education by conditioning from Brave New World, a book to which science-fiction writers may well have returned with new interest after reading the more powerful Orwell dystopia.

He is New York-born and Jewish.

His may typify a certain kind of postwar New York experience, but his experience is certainly not typical of his `` generation's ''.

In any case, who ever thought that New York is typical of anything??

Only a native New Yorker could believe that New York is now or ever was a literary center.

Krim's typicality consists only in his New Yorker's view that New York is the world ; ;

he displays what outlanders call the New York mind, a state that the subject is necessarily unable to perceive in himself.

The New York mind is two parts abstraction and one part misinformation about the rest of the country and in fact the world.

In his fulminating against the literary world, Krim is really struggling with the New Yorker in himself, but it's a losing battle.
