While Jimmy Carter's political fortunes have been waning, his financial fortune, which is in a trust managed by Old Friend Charles Kirbo of Atlanta, has been doing just fine. Last week, in a public accounting required by the 1978 Ethics in Government Act, Carter disclosed that he has become a millionaire. With assets of $1.2 million and liabilities of $221,000, including $1,500 in unpaid bills, the President computed his net worth as of Jan. 1 at exactly $1,005,910.25. That was up from $795,357.74 a year earlier, chiefly because of the rising value...
Helmut Schmidt has said, "It will take 50 years to forget the Nazi past. " Yet West Germans have progressively tried to come to terms with it. The turning point was Brandt's act of atonement in 1970, when he knelt before a memorial in the Warsaw ghetto to victims of Hitler's Holocaust.

...which two survive--the Committee on Housing and Undergraduate Life (CHUL) and the Committee on Undergraduate Education (CUE). These committees and the assembly have circled warily around each other this year, for the assembly's formation indicated many students' dissatisfaction with these committees. Moreover, the assembly has refused to act subordinate to CHUL...
...realize that this time, like the spring of 1969, is one of pressing issues, a time to work hard for serious changes. There need not be another strike if the administration is willing to respond to the voices of legitimate student protest. But students should not be afraid to act if the need arises. For those who see the need for real student protest are not, to borrow Pusey's contemptuous phrase, "Walter Mittys of the left." We are realists. And so after we look back and remember, we must also look to the present, and think hard about...
