Last week conspiracy was again in the news-as Dr. Benjamin Spock, Yale Chaplain William Sloane Coffin and three others stood indicted for conspiring to violate the Selective Service Act. The charges had been brought after weeks of preparation by Attorney General Ramsey Clark's Justice Department. It all apparently pleased one of the codefendants, however.

...squeeze out the many struggling private colleges or deplete the strength of the better ones-all of which face an economic crisis (TIME cover, June 23). Educators agree that the two sectors need each other. The University of California may have set high standards for all state schools, notes Clark Kerr, "but we got those standards from private institutions like Harvard and Yale...
