While campaigning for the governorship of California, Ronald Reagan promised to do something about radical student activities at the University of California's Berkeley campus. Liberal fears of an attack on academic freedom grew after Reagan was elected, and The New Republic printed a pithy addendum to two articles on university crackdowns in Argentina and Rhodesia that asked: "Could it happen here...
...HEARS BUT HIM, by Taylor Caldwell (298 pages; Doubleday; $4.95), is Old Pro Caldwell's 24th book-not exactly a novel or a sequel but more like an addendum to her 1960 bestseller The Listener. Once again readers are introduced to the strange John Godfrey sanctuary, where the Man who Listens soothes the frightened and despairing of the world. This time the sad samples who pour out their case histories include a minister who has lost his faith, a 33-year-old playboy who never grew up, a rich man who has nothing except money, and a Negro agonizing...
Widened Breach. Morse's addendum, amounting to flat repudiation of a President in time of war, was more than even Fulbright could swallow. And Russell's amendment, though certain to draw at least 80 Senate votes, would have set off another round of conscience-searching, party-splitting argy-bargy among the two score Democrats who have criticized the President in one degree or another.

...offer an addendum to your story on the Amazon medical mission of the Peruvian gun boat Loreto [Sept. 17]. For more than a year Project HOPE has been cooperating in this Government program through the services of two American nurses, Barbara Schwenk and Betty Carlson. Like the Loreto, our ship is not exactly "the pride and joy of anyone's navy." The Cayetana Heridia is a 50-ft. converted boat, not handsome, but a joy to hundreds of thousands in the jungles of the Amazon in Loreto state. Miss Carlson lives aboard the craft under less than adequate conditions...
...chapter on the comparative physiology of the central nervous system does require a minor addendum. On page 73, Loeb says that worms do not posses associative memory, that is, the capacity for learning. This was consistent with what was known when Loeb wrote the chapter in 1899. Months after he revised it in 1912, Robert Yerkes reported in the Journal of Animal Behavior an experiment that became famous: Yerkes trained a single earthworm over a period of months to learn a simple maze. Fleming's note at the end of the chapter mentions neither this nor more recent experiments...
