Smooth Things: The Rockefeller Commission's Report on the Humanities.
Topf, Mel A.
College English, v43 n5 p463-70 Sep 1981
Notes the lack of definition of the term "humanities" and the four-part litany that comprises the usual rhetoric of humanities advocates. Considers the Rockefeller Commission report on the humanities in light of the nondefinition, the four-part litany, and the fragmentation of any argument espousing "more attention to the humanities."
