Books

read in a long time is Susan Brownmiller's Against Our Will: Men, Women, and Rape--her huge variety of social analysis and human interest detail the kinds of changes that need to take place in our society so that rape is no longer a omnipresent problem."

Emily D.T. Vermeule, Zemurray Stone-Radcliffe Professor:

"The Oxford Anecdotes would be nice, plus a copy of Dr. Doolittle. And Georgette Heyer's Lord John--you haven't heard of Georgette Heyer? You must come in my office and let me educate you."

George Wald, Higgins Professor of Biology:

"I've had two great literary experiences this year. First was a book called Seven Arrows by Hyemeyohsts Storm, about a northern Cheyenne Indian--this book is everything. Every once in a while I meet somebody who's read it and immediately we're friends. People ask me what I think of the book--it's a Bible, I tell them. The second experience was reading Tobias Schneebaum's Keep The River on Your Right. Another really good book for people is Jonathan Kozol's passionate The Night Is Dark and I Am Far From Home. As far as other Christmas presents, I've got peace and quiet, maybe clean air and water. Really, if I could have a horse, I'd be so happy."

Seymour Slive, Gleason Professor of Fine Arts:

"First on my list is R.A. d'Hulst's four volume edition of Jordaen's Drawings. My second Christmas book is Archibald MacLeish's The Photographic Eye of Ben Shahn printed by Harvard Press. Also, Nicholson and Troutman's Letters of Virginia Woolf--I expect to find them under my tree Christmas morning."

Michael Walzer, professor of Government:

"I'm on leave this year and I shouldn't have to do this."
