...SHOULD BE no secret that the CRIMSON and the Yearbook have been engaged in something very close to civil war for the last month. The problem is the CRIMSON Photo Annual, a one-dollar paper-back released a couple of weeks ago, which the Yearbook people seem to see as an invasion of their turf. I'm a partisan in this fracas. If an inexpensive collection of pictures by CRIMSON photographers can substitute for the Yearbook's $11.95 package of nostalgia, then I am happy to see capitalism run its course. If the Yearbook really is an anachronism, cartels...
Violence on and around campuses may yet succeed and surpass the traditional types of slum upheaval in casualties. Clashes between student militants and university and civil authorities have already triggered guns, ignited fire bombs, and broken heads from coast to coast.

There were corned beef scandals during the Civil War, and the West was won partly on padded Government contracts for shot, powder, rifles, bully beef and hardtack. Today's excesses can hardly be blamed on defense-industry "profiteering." While U.S. industry's overall return on investment rose from 7.1% in 1967 to 10.1% last year, the defense contractors' profits have dropped from an average 10.1% to around...
