...example, 100 white youths staged a raucous celebration of Black Panther Huey Newton's release from prison. Police ended the party with tear gas. In Oklahoma, hundreds tried to attend a banned rock festival in Turner Falls Park. Worried about "drugs, nudity, free love and lawlessness," Governor Dewey Bartlett blocked the kids with 300 National Guardsmen. In Anaheim, Calif., about 300 garishly garbed Yippies "liberated" Disneyland. Before the cops arrived, the raiders hoisted a Viet Cong flag atop a fort on Tom Sawyer's Island and yowled slogans like "Free Mickey Mouse...
Friendship has so fascinated writers that Bartlett's Familiar Quotations carries 311 entries on the subject, against 24 for sex. Yet, curiously, it has been largely ignored by social scientists in favor of other human attachments: the sexual union, the family, the group.

Since his election as Governor in 1966, Republican Bartlett has made his pitch personally to 106 presidents of the nation's top 500 companies, calculates that he has attracted $422 million worth of new industry and 26,300 jobs. He has even mailed 58,000 letters to former Oklahomans, inviting them to return to the state. Some 11,000 have expressed...
...black students, ended their sit-in, saying they had won tentative agreement to their demands. > Langston University was roiled by the firing of President William H. Hale. About 450 students from the Oklahoma school, a predominantly black public campus, invaded the capitol and shouted "Pig!" at Governor Dewey Bartlett when he refused to explain the dismissal. The state regents later said Hale had been fired for "excessive drinking in public," a charge Hale denied. >At the University of Houston, an S.D.S. statement that it would "no longer tolerate" military recruiting on campus backfired. A small S.D.S. group that tried...
