Slight foxing on book ledge Color fading on cover Lippincott, 1970, 462 pages Today's college student has already decided. He has opted for involvement, and his involvement is based on an intensive and often conflicting awareness. His interest is focused on that chasm between what society says and what it does. This involvement and interest demand exposure to comment by men and women of reason and insight, comment that is broad-based, lucid, and relevant. COUNTERPOINT: DIALOGUE FOR THE SEVENTIES has been designed to this end. It is a response to the need, voiced by students and instructors alike, for a more relevant education. While most of the essays concern the immediate problems of the day, there is a leavening of pertinent writings from the past. Many of our ancestors were wise men. The compromises wrought upon their ideality by the mix-master of the life experience should be of extreme interest to the idealistic student. Each of the essays, whether the author offers informational or common-sense insights, whether he suggests new approaches or reinforces the validity of older ones, is selected to elicit a vital personal response from the student reader.
