...still believe in education as salvation -the key to affluence. Unfortunately, those yearnings have all but started a race war between some of C.C.N.Y.'s black and white students, a war that may have tragic significance for other public colleges across the U.S. The situation grew so bad last week that C.C.N.Y. President Buell G. Gallagher resigned...
...question is where to look, and how? Furtive, sideways glances lend a guilty, not to say downright criminal, flavor to the sport; besides, they are unrewarding.

In 1963, Kramer fled to the Caribbean with $175,000 of the association's money and a stack of potentially damaging tapes. Later he was arrested and sentenced to 18 months in prison for writing bad checks and several other offenses. Soon afterwards, his tapes turned up at the Justice Department, whose subsequent investigation uncovered evidence of widespread price-fixing in the industry. Justice won two indictments charging 15 companies, eight high executives and the association with using the Chicago hotel-room meeting-and other gatherings...
