...Maass amendment, and other alterations of language in the main body of the Resolution, effectively severed student actions from both their political context and the question of Administration responsibility. The Resolution had never been one of the great charter documents of Western democracy, but it at least initially appeared to be an even-handed directive to all segments of the University community. Following these revisions, the Resolution served exclusively as a blueprint for disciplining unruly students without caring a whit for the political reasons that had prompted their unrest...

At their destination they found a mixed reception. Amin's threats of detention have created a climate of sympathy and good will for the victims of his mass expulsion of Asians holding British citizenship.

Under the new ruling, they may catch up with some of the European charter operators, who have given a tremendous lift to mass travel by offering surprisingly low-cost package tours...
...November 1922. In March 1923, "TIME The Weekly News-Magazine" appeared on the newsstands, editorially designed "to serve the modern necessity of keeping people informed." So these next few months mark the 50th anniversary of the company. A fabulous half-century, like no other in history. And today the charter of Time Inc.-to keep people informed-remains the same...
