Witty analysis by Cerf and
Navasky shows that even
the experts can be wrong
By JUNE 0. BELL
Collegian Arts Writer
Trivia enthusiasts who prefer
what went wrong in history to
what went right will take “The
Experts Speak” to heart at once,
and even those interested in some
light and humorous reading won’t
be disappointed.
book review
Touted by authors Christopher
Cerf and Victor Navasky as “The
Definitive Compendium of Author
itative Misinformation,” the book
bulges with quote after quote of
mistakes made by “experts” in
every field from politics to sports.
The book is a tongue-in-cheek look
at every aspect of life where a
professional has given his opinion,
only to have it flung back in his
face by history or his own later
actions.
The authors cite forty pages of
references to prove they’re se
rious about their fun. They found
ed the Institute of Expertology to
do their research (and appointed
themselves president and vice
president of the organization).
Cerf was involved in the found
ing of National Lampoon and has
written music for Sesame Street
since 1971. He has won two Gram
my Awards. A former editor of the
New York Times Magazine, Na
vasky has been Editor of The
Nation since 1978.
What’s the attraction of cata
loguing errors? Perhaps it’s the
Clint Eastwood in " Tightrope"
fascination of all those experts
making mistakes or being caught
in hypocrisy. “There is no reason
for any individual to have a com
puter in their home,” Ken Olson,
president of Digital Equipment
Corporation, told a convention in
1977. By 1982, the authors add in
one of their many footnotes, there
were over a million personal com
puters in American homes and
offices, and Olson’s company had
begun its oun line of microcomput
ers.
The book’s format is conducive
to skimming. It is set up by catego
ries such as inventions, interna
tional relations and scientific
discoveries. Quotes are listed and
attributed, and the, authors fre
quently have helpful, if not wry,
comments explaining or clarifying
events.
TYying to read sections of it all
at once, especially those on the
Depression and the Vietnam War,
can get tedious; it’s the kind of
book you leave in the bathroom or
read while the commercials are
on.
I also felt that more illustrations
would have relieved the dry ar
rangement of quotes. The illustra
tions used, however sparse, were
well-chosen. (My favorite was an
indecipherable web of arrows and
lines showing how the Defense
Department’s communications
network would function in a na
tional emergency. )
Perhaps the most interesting
aspect of the book is the conclu
sions we can draw from this col
lection of errors. Everyone had
problems.
President Jordan displays photos
By ELIZABETH FRANK
Collegian Arts Writer
University President Bryce Jor
dan has an exhibition of photo
graphs in the Lending Services area
of Pattee library from Aug. 24 to
Sept. 16. The selection includes pic
tures taken in the Republic of South
Africa, Madrid and New Orleans
and shows an interest in people and
composition.
Jordan’s interest in photography
goes back to when he was a child. In
1938 he had a photograph, “The
Bears,” published in the Fort Worth
“Star Telegram.” However, it is
only in the last few years that
Jordan has become seriously inter
ested in photography again. From
two professional photographers,
Bank Langmore and Ron Evans,
Jordan learned much about the
aesthetics and techniques of serious
photography.
Jordan says he particularly likes
to do what he calls “street photog
raphy” shooting pictures of peo
ple in the act of doing something
when they don’t realize they are
being observed. “I don’t like to take
typical travel pictures, but pictures
of unusual things, things apposed in
an unusual way,” Jordan ex
plained. “Photography teaches you
to look at things much more percep
tively, to look at things in a differ
ent way.”
“It’s marvelous doing photog
raphy, (it’s) something different,
Jordan remarked. “If I have time
to stop and look, I take pictures. I
don’t shoot randomly. And even
then, being careful, I don’t print
many of those I shoot.”
“I’m not that good, but I’m very
enthusiastic. I do enjoy it.”
Jordan remarked that he was
surprised when Stuart Forth, direc
tor of Pattee library, asked him to
put on an exhibit. Mark Sannican-
dro, exhibits coordinator at Pattee
ancl who helped choose and arrange
the photographs, explained how the
exhibition took shape. “President
Jordan brought a selection of photo
graphs into his office. We discussed
which ones he liked, and because
we were limited by the space avail
able, we chose the most appealing
pictures from each series,” Sanni
candro said.
“It’s a hobby, nothing more,”
Jordan said. “ I make no claims to
be a professional. When there’s
time, I do it.”
Sannicandro though was im
pressed by the president’s photo
graphs. “A lot of the black and
white photographs are formally
very interesting. They show a
strong sense of composition and a
strong interest in artistic and ar
chitectural shapes,” he com
mented. The best examples of this,
Sannicandro added, are two un
titled pictures showing a man in a
building and iron lawn chairs re
spectively, as well as picture of
dead leaves.
“Jordan’s photographs are inter
esting from two angles. They show
he is very interested in human
character, yet they also show a
very strong formal interest,” San
nicandro said. This strong sense of
humanity, Sannicandro pointed out,
is most obvious in a photograph of
some Zulu children on their way to
school. “He’s taking pictures of real
people in real settings.”
Sannicandro also spoke of Jor
dan’s camera revealing what is
beneath the facial expressions and
poses. “His pictures of people show
a penetrating psychological and
emotional approach; they make
you think about the personality of university President Bryce Jordan says he used to just take pictures as a hobby,
the person or what their lives are Bu , days he’s bringing his works to the public . If you’d like to see some of
1 „ _ , , . his fine photographs, they’ll be shown in Pattee until Sept. 16.
However, Sannicandro remarked
Eastwood's 'Tightrope' is
leading at the box offices
HOLLYWOOD (AP) - “Tight
rope" retained a clear lead at the
box office during a calm weekend
that saw little reshuffling among
the top grossing movies.
■ In its second week of release, the
Clint Eastwood detective story
grossed $7.1 million to stay well
ahead of the pack.
The enduring “Ghostbusters”
eclipsed relative newcomer “Red
Dawn” by moving back into sec

eipts. The latter came in at $3.3
million, dropping a notch to third
place in its third week.
“Ghostbusters” has a 12-week
total of $179.4 million.
“Purple Rain” remained No. 4
with $3.2 million, and “Revenge of
the Nerds” stayed in fifth place
