...world today. I make no apology for this categorization. Witness the profound alienation of Afro-American peoples, the malicious attempt to reduce us to beings only concerned with the satisfaction of animal desires, the undisguised genocidal practices to which Afro-Americans are subjected daily (over 50 per cent of the U.S. prison population is black), the gross unemployment of our youth (over 60 per cent unemployed) while billions go toward arms procurement on the ground that the U.S. commitment to European allies is more important than the livelihood of our people. There is a deliberate attempt to keep Afro-Americans...
...Senate votes, the number needed for treaty ratification; nor will the tricks that Carter employed to lobby Congress during the Panama Canal dispute prove sufficient. Even some substantive administration maneuvering to placate conservatives has not been enough: Carter has boosted the defense budget by three per cent to 125.8 billion dollars, and nominated a former Pentagon hawk to head the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, but hard-liners like Senator Henry M. Jackson (D-Wash.) remain unimpressed. Those who oppose the treaty, including former SALT negotiator Paul Nitze, see it as another step on the road to the international decline...
...costly aspects of the nuclear arms race. As Carter pointed out in his speech last week, the treaty will limit both sides to 2250 missile launchers and 1320 missiles with multiple warheads (MIRVs). It will require that the Soviets cut back their missiles and launchers by 250, ten per cent of their total force, while the U.S. will be able to increase its own stock of missiles and bombers with heavier payloads. True, the Soviets will still retain the heavy-duty SS-19 and SS-20 intercontinental missiles (ICBMs) they began building in the 1960s, which may currently threaten...
...Clarke finally broke the ice, connecting on two free throws, but the damage had been done. Harvard tried to move within striking distance of the red-hot Dartmouth squad (they hit an unbelievable 85 per cent of their shots from the field in the first half, and 67 per cent for the game), but could never generate enough offensive power to make a serious charge and trailed, 39-26, at halftime...
...reforms would allow fewer graduate students to lead tutorials. In fact, the restrictions simply recognize long-standing but blatantly disregarded legislation on the tutorial system. In 1958, the Faculty passed legislation, still on the books, which requires that no more than 30 per cent of a department's tutors be teaching fellows and no less than 30 per cent be full-time Faculty members. However, 17 years later, Dean Rosovsky's task force on concentrations observed that these limits, particularly in larger concentrations, have gone unenforced...
