...fast was started over a question of housing, but we have found in our discussions among ourselves, with our fellow students, and with the administration that the issue underlying our demands is much broader: Do we as students have a real voice in the decision-making process in our college? Decisions at Radcliffe, it seems to us, are made completely from above. Mrs. Bunting usually chooses wisely, but this spring she made one decision, over apartment living, that was too contrary to student feeling for us to let pass. If students were adequately represented in the administrative process such extreme...
...avoid such perennial disruptions-in railroads as well as other crucial industries-would be for Johnson to act on his broader promise to propose legislative safeguards against any strike that jeopardized the national welfare. He has failed to do so, presumably for fear of offending big labor. But neither Congress nor the country is in any mood to tolerate a walkout as damaging as last year's airlines strike. Perhaps sensing this, Johnson said last week that he was renewing his "search for a just and general solution to emergency strike or lockout problems." By the White House clock...
...Unmentioned in the Constitution, that office goes back to 1789, when U.S. district courts were set up with jurisdiction limited largely to maritime cases and suits between citizens of different states. But as federal law grew after the Civil War, so did the need for U.S. trial courts with broader scope. In 1875, district courts were given jurisdiction over a wide range of federal questions.

...gross national product has risen at the rate of 8.2% annually since 1952, now stands at $3.1 billion. >Industrial production has been increasing nearly 14% a year; industry on the island is four times broader than it was in 1952. >Taiwan's trade balance, which once ran a $100 million annual deficit in spite of U.S. aid (discontinued in 1965), is now only $34 million in deficit on a much larger base ($569 million in exports and $603 million in imports). Meanwhile, foreign exchange reserves last year rose another 10% to $337 million. >Per-capita income, rising...
...bombing and troop commitments, it would call for de-escalation, leading to negotiations and eventoal disengagement. The thrust of its criticism would be that the Administration now appears to place higher priority on military victory than on political solution and that our present policy may involve us in a broader war which is certainly not justified by our interests in Southeast Asia. Even if it did not formulate the challenge in this way, it would at least force the Administration to define the country's objectives more clearly and precisely, presenting the American people with an estimate of the long...
