O'Brien favors study on opinion
Conor Cruise O'Erien, Albert Schweitzer professor of the humanities at New York University, told a conference of the American Committee for Irish Studies (ACIS) Friday night that studies of public opinion in contemporary Ireland are needed to examine the changes in its "traditionally-minded stable society."
O'Brien, who commanded the United Nations forces in the occupation of the Congo, spoke at the ACIS banquet in the Kansas Union.
After describing some of his own impressions of Ireland, he said further studies of public opinion would be "a contribution which a body like this could make to the Irish people's knowledge of themselves and one another, which I think is rather deficient."
HE SAID Irish scholars tended to concentrate on the past and need an impetus from abroad in the study of present trends.
"Ireland is the kind of country that if you like it, you call it stable, and if you don't like it, you call it stagnant," O'Brien said. "Nevertheless, as part of the English-speaking world, it is exposed to ideas that challenge conservative elements.

The no-drag shaver In 1st,2nd,3rd,4th and 5th.
The REMINGTON® 200 Selectro Shaver is a new model. Different from anything you've used before. It has a dial with 5 positions that lets you shift over all the different parts of your face.
In 2nd, you can knock off a couple of days' growth without any trouble.
By the time you shift to 4th, you're in and out of corners, around curves, over tricky tender spots. No skid marks.
6th is for cleaning out the shaver. By the way, don't expect to pay more for this baby. It's actually a little less than regular shavers. REMINGTON also makes a complete line of cordless shavers.
