Page 2-the Daily Collegian-April 1.19S2 Sartre's 'Family Idiot'incomplete but good There's a story near the beginning of Jean-Paul Sartre's The Family Plot that might serve as a leitmotif for the entire book. Young Gustave Flaubert, the anti- heroic 'family idiot' for this sometimes seemingly idiotic anti-biography, suffers scornful derision at the hands of the; family butler names Pierre. Sartre tells us that Pierre repeatedly asked little Gustave to "run up to the kitchen to see if I'm Book Review to come see if he's here." Everyone deal with the writer's stock-in-trade: Words was the title of Jean-Paul Sartre's own autobiography. And people sometimes wonder whether Gustave Flaubert's legendary verbal difficulties—a subject of great concern to Sartre—might not serve as a leitmotif for Sartre's own life. Sartre was one of the greatest men of letters in the 20th century, much as Flaubert was 'rrs CAUJ& th& srupipeR efto^ a buncm of Caribbean aweiuras uifc up oh to mm sioe, w> vmmmi su&es off to v&mi Zilch.

But Sartre, like Flaubert, engaged in a lifelong personal battle against the very tools of his trade as a writer. And he was never personally satisfied that he had even approached victory over words. Everything he wrote was somehow incomplete. He won a deserved Nobel Prize for this three-volume epic The Roads to Freedom. although the final volume ofa proposed tetrology was never completed. He earned accolades from philosophers for Being and Nothingness, although he always proposed a different conclusion for that seminal work. And he never felt that the earth-shattering Critique of Dialectical Reason was more than half finished. This monumental psycho-biography of Flaubert which Sartre himself considered to be his life work is even more incompletethan any of these previous masterpieces. The 3.000 pages that were published in French before Sartre's death were merely intended as a massive prelude to his projected analysis of Madame Bovery. But Sartre died, and his narrative was summarily ended before Flaubert's one real success as a writer was even begun. The Family Idiot corresponds roughly to the first half of the first of three volumes that Sartre published on Flaubert in French. It has been masterly translated by Carol Cosman. in a manner that is reverentially faithful to the vagaries of the original text. An index might have served -as' a useful guide though this mass of verbiage, but that might still be intended for the forthcoming volumes that are projected by the publisher. Each of these volumes will likely be anticipated, read studied, and praised as much as this first volume. Jean-Paul Sartre gave his eyesight, and ultimately his life, to this incompleted study. That is certainly one reason for reading it. But another, perhaps more compelling argument is that like the elusive Pierre the butler. Sartre's conclusion to this materpiece will never be there. Anyone who loves Sartre will experience the agory of that absence as intensely as Flaubert felt the absence of Pierre. It may be painful, but it is' also, somehow, existentially true.

Soon enough, the two men pulled her aside, identified themselves as FBI agents, and asked about the reading habits of one of the library's regular patrons: visiting Professor Vladimir Malyshko. Holland refused to tell, citing library At about the same time, the U.S. Department of State was informing Stanford Chaplain Phil Wiehe it wouldn't let Soviet arms control expert Yuri Kaprolov visit the campus because a "reciprocity agreement" with the USSR had recently col-. The incidents are among the most recent in a series that has brought American scholars into a direct confrontation with the Reagan administration over once- routine exchanges of academicians with communist countries. The government, pursuing a hard foreign policy line against the Soviet Union, is trying to apply the same import-export restrictions on the exchange of knowledge between nations as it applies to products like automobiles, technology and weaponry. In the process, it has had the FBI increase its surveillance of foreign scholars and students on American campuses. CSUF today. Educators, on the other hand, are getting angrier and angrier about what they see as a dangerous inhibition not only of academic exchange, but free speech.- "It's unfortunate that in a land where we value freedom of speech, we're being inhibited by the State Department from free and open discussion," Stanford's Wiehe laments. "I used to cooperate (with government guidelines for foreign visitors),* adds Michigan aerospace engineer Charles Kauffman, who has hosted many Soviet scholars, "but now I dont cooperate. * "I'm very angry at what our government is doing." he explains. The Reagan administration is paranoid, and the FBI has damn near become a Gestapo. There's a very real problem here." The "problem,* in fact, is nationwide.

The decision to watch them 'depends on a number of circumstances." Thompson points out, adding he cant elaborate on what those circumstances might be.
