...took half a century to transform Kent State from an obscure teachers college into the second largest university in Ohio, with 21,000 students and an impressive array of modern buildings on its main campus. But it took less than ten terrifying seconds last week to convert the traditionally conformist campus into a bloodstained symbol of the rising student rebellion against the Nixon Administration and the war in Southeast Asia.

The Soviets have given up a whole array of consumer goods that other people in other countries, even within Eastern Europe, take for granted...

Solidly entrenched Xerox is likely to suffer less from the new rivalry than other firms in the torridly competitive office-copier field. Xerox's 70% share of the market is based largely on an array of patents that give it a continuing capacity to bring out improved equipment...
