Last week, under the pressure of still another wave of disturbances, the new president, Robert R. Smith, former dean at S.F. State, had to close the college down completely. The new demonstrations by B.S.U. members and the local chapter of the Students for a Democratic Society were stirred up by the suspension of George Murray, 22, a part-time teacher and graduate student who is also minister of education for the Black Panthers. All 800 blacks at S.F. State are counted as members by the B.S.U., whether the students concerned agree or not. And the disruptive B.S.U. tactics, designed...
Perhaps to provide a better "text" about himself, but also to contribute a chapter to the history of American journalism, Luce commissioned a history of Time Inc. In 1964, three years before he died, he charged the author "to be candid, truthful, and to suppress nothing relevant or essential to the narrative." The result is TIME INC. The Intimate History of a Publishing Enterprise, 1923-1941 (Atheneum; $10). Can the account of a company be intimate? It seems like a contradiction in terms, but readers may decide that this book is indeed reasonably intimate...
...self-help idea has spread to 600 other prisoners who have enrolled in service organizations that are part of Warden Patterson's rehabilitation program. Among the clubs is an authorized chapter of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, which this fall is sponsoring a charity football game between the prison team-the "Rockbusters" and the semipro Colorado Colts.

The convicts have become so respectable that last summer they were invited to the Colorado state fair where about 70 of them set up their...
...authors track down their leads, The Secret Search comes to recall Theodore Draper's Abuse of Power, and in some respects this later book just misses being a perfect last chapter to Draper's work. While Draper is far more ambitious, surveying the whole panorama of the U.S. involvement, and also more polemical, the two works have a common message: the U.S. has sought in Vietnam to settle by force a problem it would not, and probably could not, handle by political means...
...BELIEVERS: THE BLACK EXPERIENCE IN SONG (RCA Victor). Sketching the path of the people brought from Africa to America, 13 full-voiced performers of this off-Broadway production lovingly interpret the music that expresses their history. The thunder drums of Ladji Camara provide a lightning introduction to the African chapter. The misery of the slave ships, the dreariness of the plantations, the vitality of the small churches, and the frustrations of city streets are caught in laments, work songs and field hollers, shouting gospels and spirituals, blues and jazz. While the arrangements can be faulted for lack of subtlety...
