Nixon has taken a deliberately go-slow approach to the nation's problems, and he has yet to produce anything resembling a full legislative program. He can move abruptly at times, however. He announced his plan to end Post Office patronage without consulting the congressional postal committees. While he had first counseled against haste in filling the more than 100 sub-Cabinet jobs still vacant, he ordered a speedup before leaving for Europe...
...WOULD hope the Jensenites could alter their stance and approach and try to bring some good out of this situation after all. They might work their way out of ethnic learning styles by broadening their research to include all ethnic groups. We have some rather learned men in our area who believe that English-Americans are atop the pyramid of abstract learning abilities with Welsh, German, French, Belgian, Norwegian, Swiss, Finnish, Danish and Swedish occupying the next nine rungs in the order listed. After the top ten have been given their just due, these gentlemen give a smattering of attention...

Last week Richard Nixon (who, ironically, was about to visit De Gaulle) took a very different approach toward campus disorders in the U.S. Despite his trouble establishing rapport with young Americans during his campaign, the President tackled dissident students head on. In a publicly released letter, he lambasted demonstrators in general, giving no hint of any distinction between their valid and invalid aims...
...DUNSTER House Dramatic Erection group, formed last year, rivalled the Mayer one for cohesion, although it had an altogether different approach. Instead of having a central figure and a one-Production-at-a-time commitment, it was a group made up only of techies who enjoyed working together and would run off to save any show that needed saving...
