...truce violations, most of them such minor procedural matters as the presence of improper arm bands on U.N. guards. The U.N. has admitted 93 violations and charged North Korea with 6,313. Pyongyang has admitted only two, the last one in 1953. It is so adamant about not taking blame for the increased tensions along the DMZ that it refuses to accept the bodies of slain North Korean soldiers, insisting that they are South Koreans deliberately disguised in Communist uniforms...
...umpires are giving the pitchers all the breaks," grouses Henry Aaron. Other batsmen blame their anemic averages on the hardships of coast-to-coast travel, the lengthened big-league schedule, the visual vicissitudes of night baseball, the spacious new ballparks that turn extra-base blasts into long outs, and the bushel-basket-sized gloves used by fielders today.

University administrators who assume such concern, added Mayhew, are really to blame for much of the current student unrest. A professor of education at Stanford University, Mayhew told some 125 association members in Dallas last week that too many college officials ignore student rights, and that "behind every successful student outbreak stands some administrator who exercised discretion without legitimacy." Part of the problem, he said, lies in the attempt of college...
