...jugglers. Robert Slater of the Jerusalem bureau wrote The Titans of Takeover (Prentice-Hall), a look at Wall Street machinations, while reporting on the Middle East. Ottawa Bureau Chief Peter Stoler, who probes the beleaguered media in The War Against the Press (Dodd, Mead), completed his book while covering Canada.

...observers believe the demonstrations are linked by a "secret network of the young" that involves the spontaneous sharing of goals and values among students in different countries, mainly through the media and exchanges of information.
