...think, than any others, they characterize the mood of our generation. The Class of 1968 emerges from its campuses at the head of a rising tide of youthful dissatisfaction. It is too easy to dismiss the obvious malaise of youth as nothing but a new manifestation of the age-old conflict between parents and children. More is at issue here, much more. This generation wants not simply to replace its parents in the positions of power and prominence in American society, but, more importantly, to change that society...
Railroad Presidents. The conditions of imprisonment vary just as widely. The Government tries to put each resister into the federal prison in his area, and also takes into account his age and education when assigning him. College Dropout Sullivan notes that at Danbury, which is known as the country club of federal prisons, he had the company of "a couple of lawyers, at least one doctor and three railroad presidents." In Allenwood, Pa., resisters make up almost half the prison population of 300. But elsewhere they are a minority among bootleggers, forgers and robbers. A few have even been tossed...
This week, at the age of 82, Mies saw his dream come true, although from a distance.

"I'd be proud to go to Viet Nam," he said, but the Army assigned him to West Point as a systems analyst, a job that allows him time to play in tournaments and compete for the U.S. Davis Cup team...
Death-Dealing Vision. Charley Trimble, the teen-age protagonist of the long story Pennsylvania Gothic, knows all too well what he is, if not who. He is a potential suicide. After all, his father killed himself. He was obsessed by the "spoliation of nature"-human and mineral-in the once aristocratic Philadelphia suburb where the family lives. Charley, idle and lonely, powerfully infected by his father's preoccupation with decay, conceives a death wish of his own. A neighbor woman, an ancient relic of the town's past, wages a moral and psychological battle to exorcize it, finally...
