...Soviet Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev, the man who in 1968 ordered troops from Russia and four other Warsaw Pact nations to invade Czechoslovakia. Confronted then by a popular, heavily publicized deviation from the socialist norm in Czechoslovakia, the Russians misjudged it. They let the Prague Spring reach full blossom, then felt compelled to crush it. Now, three years afterward, outside criticism of Soviet ham-handedness has largely faded.

...foods sold in organic shops can reach for the exotic: carrot cupcakes, sunflower-seed cookies and countless varieties of honey, including alfalfa, avocado, tupelo blossom, eucalyptus, mesquite and thistle. Manhattan's Good Earth market offers 13 varieties of dates (among them Halawy, Khadrawy and Zahidi*), three types of yogurt, including goat, organic ice cream and pizza and 125 types of herbal teas.

Some of the original houses that once sold for less than $25,000 would probably be worth twice that today; newer houses range from...
...long the eerie tranquillity will last is a matter of conjecture. Many administrators fear a return of unrest in the spring, when youthful exuberances always blossom anew. Even if there is no further trouble, campus quiet is not synonymous with campus health. Oases for ideas, universities should be places of ferment. The violence of the past few years was, of course, unacceptable, but the student movement has called the nation's attention to some of its weaknesses?a hidebound educational establishment, inequitable draft laws, unrepresentative political procedures, to mention some of the most legitimate targets of protest. Despite...
...Committee on Students and Community Relations will blossom from six to 15 student members (with 16 from the Faculty, making 31), to be elected one from each House, two Freshmen, and three from the GSAS...
