...partly Irish: his maternal grandmother was born in County Down, Ulster (then a part of Ireland). The main purpose of his trip is not sentimental, though. With the sort of disdainful gesture that is so specially his, De Gaulle has decided to absent himself from France during the election campaign and the voting on June 1 to pick his successor...

Most of the other members of the committee are of a similar bent. The aim of the hearings was largely to amass evidence that colleges would be best left alone to handle campus disorders. Only Rep. William Scherle (R-Iowa) gave a foretaste of the real mood of the House when he told Pusey that unless "college administrators have the guts to adopt a get-tough policy...
