...obvious way to learn about these predispositions is to study the behavior of man's nearest neighbors, the monkeys and great apes-and to study them not just in the zoo or laboratory but in their natural habitat. In studying the baboon, for example, Berkeley Anthropologist Sherwood L. Washburn and his Harvard disciple, Irven DeVore, are concerned mainly with what this primate can reveal about man. The baboon's hierarchical society, commanded by dominant males, suggests the fundamental pattern to which man's ancestors may have subscribed, long before marriage was invented. So far no primate study...
...Peace. Despite its concern with improving communication in the world of higher education, Change includes a striking open letter from one student leader that seems to rule out much hope for such improvement. Michael Rossman, who served on the steering committee of the 1964 Free Speech Movement at Berkeley, contemptuously denounces "the myth that better communication would solve everything," opts instead for the tactics of confrontation. There is "no campus where significant political advance or educational reform or movement work has taken place that is not also familiar with confrontation," he argues. "You've got to let yourself...
...before joining the faculty of the University of California at Berkeley, Goffman spent a year of research at St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, D.C.

In his opinion, many inmates are simply people who have so flagrantly broken the rules of seemly behavior that they have been dismissed from the game.

Team Member Don Rothberg, 34, who once ran a beatnik restaurant in Berkeley, got a guarded tip from a high military source: "If you dig far enough back into the history of the M16, you might find something interesting." But it took him three weeks of rummaging through Congressional-committee hearings and long interviews with reluctant manufacturers and defense officials to produce his story on how mass production of the lightweight M-16 rifle, sorely needed in Viet Nam, had been delayed by Pentagon indecision for seven years. When the Army finally placed its orders, he discovered, it was paying...
...vandalism against ROTC on a few college campuses have been so widely publicized as to leave the general impression that most of the 343 schools with Army, Navy or Air Force ROTC are embattled. Such is not the case. Serious incidents have occurred at the University of California at Berkeley, the universities of Washington, Delaware, Florida Southern, Wisconsin, and Fordham, in addition to the travesty at Boston University...
