...Kashmir itself, strong American pressure on New Delhi to accept a plebiscite would be best in the long run. Shastri could offer to hold the plebiscite as a victor's magnanimous concession to the Security Council resolution. As a first step India could at least concede an adequate U.N. border guard. A properly treated Pakistan would not likely attack again, and the dispute could easily grow cold...
After 31 hours of closed-door talk, Foreign Minister Subandrio said that President Sukarno had prevailed on the cabinet to 1) regard the Untung affair as an "internal problem" of the army that would be settled by the army; 2) accept the statement by the Communist Party's Politburo that the Reds had nothing to do with the attempted coup; 3) support a return to unity and a revival of "Nasakom"-one of the portmanteau words Sukarno loves to invent.

...states had compulsory-attendance laws.* Soon, educators came to accept John Dewey's dictum that education is not a preparation for life but a part of it, and that a school must "reproduce, within itself, the typical conditions of social life."

Pupils will get more individual instruction and go to museums and the opera; 5,000 parents will be enlisted in guidance programs; the correlation between the degree of a student...
Kind Words for Matt. The six-page Courier, which sells for 10?, covers the news with a professionalism that belies the inexperience of its editors and their meager resources. Refusing to accept any money from civil rights groups, the paper raises what it can on college campuses in the North-about $43,000 to date. Advertising income amounts to an inconsequential $100 a week. The youthful twelve-man staff (down from a summer peak of 18, now that students have returned to college) works for $20-a-week salaries and the sheer exhilaration of it. "Coming down here was about...
