...another important factor in the success eduation is Vietnam. These radical students were the ones who led their professors and school administrators to doubt the war. They were there first with their demonstrations and sacrifices. They have proved their legitimacy. University administrators find it hard to be on the authoritarian end of things. They don't want to be caught squashing another Montgomery...
...rehabilitation. Of course barriers to reform go far beyond the limitations of buildings. It is ironic that only in Mississippi are married convicts allowed conjugal visits with their wives; sexual deprivation in other American prisons incites riots, mental illness and homosexuality. By using strong inmates to control the weak, authoritarian officials create an inmate culture that forces prisoners to "do your own time"-trust no one, freeze your mind, be indifferent. Roughly 80% of adult inmates need psychiatric help. But illtrained, ill-paid guards are so concerned with security that treatment staffs can barely function. All American prisons have...
Chief organizer of the impeachment was the favored candidate in the May elections, ex-President Arnulfo Arias, 66, who was tossed out of office in 1951 for trying to impose a tough, authoritarian rule.

"His moral sense is almost physical-his presence overcame our skepticism about great men really existing...
...provocation at the crowd outside. William Bentinck-Smith, assistant to President Pusey, evoked an urbane George Wallace as he guarded the door. The parallel may be imprecise, but Bentinck-Smith risked a serious, possibly violent, confrontation by stubbornly refusing to let more than two protesters in. That authoritarian gesture (contrasted with the tolerance Deans Ford and Glimp showed toward the protest) heightened the symbolic remoteness of the highest level of University Administration from students...
