Every individual has a right to vote. At 6 p.m. a news bulletin declared Docking the Governor of Kansas. Do newsmen mean to tell me that this doesn't affect the voting? It would seem to me this is a great disservice to the electorate and grossly unfair. To predict a trend is one thing, but to come out and say there is a winner when all the polls aren't even closed is not freedom of reporting. It is license...
...says one Defense Department official. What is more, and far more disturbing, is that without calling up the reserves or increasing draft levels, the U.S. military simply does not have that many men available for Viet Nam duty. And there, for the moment, rests the debate, which might well affect the outcome of the war in which 5,800 U.S. lives have already been invested...
Since close to 90 per cent of Cliffies and over 60 per cent of Harvard freshman enter with a 560 or better, departmental resources are now geared to minimal training to an unwilling minority. Abolishing the requirement would not affect the majority at all. The study of languages is increasingly popular and Harvard's official brochures would continue to encourage prospective students to take languages in high school; statistics show that an impressive proportion (75 per cent) of those who pass the requirement voluntarily continue language study at Harvard...
...lent Kamisar to Harvard as a visiting professor in 1964, than the University of Michigan hired him for the year after. No matter. Like a Bronx Socrates, he harangues entranced students in thunderous tones that surely reach all three campuses. Kamisar has two passions: "translating" how Supreme Court decisions affect all Americans' liberties-and blasting polemicists who accuse the court of "coddling criminals." A dangerous counterpuncher in any argument, Kamisar plays no favorites: he has fought American Law Institute conservatives who sought tough model rules of police questioning, while he "gags" at Supreme Court Justices who rewrite history...
...cost of stamps and games obviously does affect food prices-but not nearly so much as the present outcry would suggest. A Department of Agriculture study showed that prices in stamp-giving stores averaged only three-fifths of 1% higher than in non-stamp stores; the study also observed that "consumers who redeem the stamps can more than recoup the price differential." While that might be a disputable generalization, it does seem certain that when compared with such factors as higher wages and shrinking farm surpluses, trading stamps have been insignificant in the 4% rise in food prices over...
