a review by Carroll Quigley in The Washington Sunday Star,

of a book:

Columbia College of Columbia University

Columbia College of Columbia University.
1126 pp. Columbia University Press. $7.50
This new one-volume edition of reading selections for the
famous Columbia University course on Contemporary Western society will
never be used for individual reading pleasure, but it would provide an
excellent collection for discussion groups who want a single volume of
materials. The selections are well chosen, up to date, and long enough
to provide material for debate. A variety of anthropologists,
psychologists, sociologists, and others include Carl Rogers on
adolescent rebellion, C. Wright Mills on the white-collar class, Myrdal
on our negro minority, Niebuhr on moral behavior, Keynes on planning,
Ambassador Galbraith on countervailing power and the affluent society, Kautsky, Trotsky, Djilas, and others on communism, and Herman Kahn on
thermonuclear war. The price is very modest for a book of this size and
quality.
--Carroll Quigley
