...Nixon and his advisers, the ideal answer is "mutuality." Under this approach, the negotiators in Paris would work out a reciprocal and, if possible, concurrent withdrawal plan satisfactory to North Viet Nam and the U.S. alike. The Administration is banking-perhaps too optimistically-on Hanoi's having a growing desire for peace. As the Air Force had it, the massive U.S. bombardment of North Viet Nam would crack that nation's morale. It achieved the opposite result: by putting everyone in the front lines, the bombing created a spirit of defiance. But, as the theory goes, without...
Ogilvie has also been brash in his approach to taxpayers. Illinois ranks third among states in per capita personal income, but 49th in the percentage of personal income going to state and local taxation. Ogilvie believes that the "bedrock needs of this state" demand radical change.

David Henry, president of the University of Illinois, speaks for many who want to upgrade the prestige...
...THEODORE M. HESBURGH, UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME. Father Hesburgh brought a new approach to campus violence in February when he issued a carefully thought-out set of rules for handling demonstrators. His eight| page letter put students on notice that persons disrupting the campus would be warned, "given 15 minutes of meditation," then suspended if they did not desist. Hesburgh's initiative, which he took only after sounding out faculty, alumni and student groups, brought him quantities of favorable mail, including a letter from President Nixon that warmly endorsed his "forthright stand...
