...York, Arab Spokesman M. T. Mehdi talked darkly of the "frustration of many Arabs with American politicians who have sold the Arab people of Palestine to the Zionist Jewish voters." That suggested a motive, but District Attorney Evelle Younger and State Attorney General Thomas Lynch wanted to avoid any such discussion until the trial. Thus they were aghast, and said so, when Mayor Yorty went before a news conference to divulge what he described as the contents of Sirhan's private notebooks, found in the Sirhan home...
...same, steps can be taken to minimize the danger. For one thing, TV ought to be used more effectively-and at public expense to avoid domination by the richest candidates.

Some students are sure to use the new hours next fall as a foot-in-the-door to agitate for getting rid of parietals altogether, or the more realistic goal of allowing women to eat at all lunches...
Since the Center lacks "free" funds which would allow it to initiate projects independently, it must work in the areas specified by paying clients. A less explicit pressure is the Center's need to avoid alienating the sources of grant money. The Center cannot "afford" to tamper with, say, black community schools or business organizations...
