...Humphrey. "As long as I am President," he told labor leaders at a private White House dinner, "I want Vice President Humphrey by my side." Thus Bobby has been urging overeager supporters to remove the "Kennedy in '68" billboards and bumper stickers that have sprouted from Baltimore to Berkeley; he flatly denies any such ambitions...
...physics has suffered from scientific confusion-all because experimenters from Columbia University and the State University of New York announced that they had demonstrated that nature's laws of symmetry are not inviolate. Now, less than three months later, order has apparently been restored. At a conference in Berkeley last week, scientists from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) sided with symmetry. Their own more comprehensive experiment, they said, showed no evidence of a violation of symmetry...
Though most scientists at the Berkeley meeting privately sided with the CERN findings, none would state flatly that symmetry had, after all, been restored. Franzini's group is preparing a new round of experiments at Brookhaven in an attempt to confirm the violations they reported; still another team led by Columbia University Physicist Leon Lederman will attempt a similar experiment, and the CERN scientists plan to make more tests of their own. "The evidence from the CERN experiments is by no means conclusive," says Franzini defiantly. "Many more experiments are needed before we can say who is right...
...mostly the change is an attempt to overcome widespread campus apathy toward student governments, whose limited power made them seem impotent compared with the campus New Left, particularly after the 1964 student revolt at Berkeley. Lenore Sheridan, a member of the Students for a Demo cratic Society at Illinois, charges that the N.S.A. "doesn't really mean much," because it is made up of "middleclass white Americans" who may talk about revolution but are unwilling to bring about a "fundamental" change in American society. So N.S.A.'s politicians judge that the route to relevance and influence is emulation...
...Angeles school system, which needs-and builds-14 new class rooms a week, pays the highest teacher salaries (average: $8,800) of any major U.S. school system. State-supported U.C.L.A. has become a topnotch school with less fuss and furor than Berkeley, and the privately endowed University of Southern California has evolved from a mere football school into a respected seat of learning. In fact, Los Angeles now has a higher-education complex that rivals the Boston area. And the Los Angeles Times, under the guiding hand of Otis Chandler, 38, has put away its stuffiness and now provides...
