...Classic Communist dogma makes revolution the private preserve of those with nothing to lose but their chains: the workers. In this revolutionary spring of 1968, however, it is the students-most of them from comfortable middle-class backgrounds-who have proclaimed themselves the vanguard of a new order. Quite apart from their political impact in the streets, youthful activists are putting the theology of orthodox Communism in a curious pinch: they are revolutionaries from the wrong side of the tracks...
Even the pros in golf need a little divine guidance at times, and when Evangelist Billy Graham, no mean golfer himself, was in Atlanta for a pro-amateur round before the Atlanta Classic tournament, he took the occasion to hand out a few tips from "the greatest pro of all time-the Lord Jesus Christ." Proper stance: "We must take a stand on what we believe in." Proper grip: "Get a grip on life." Hitting the ball from inside out: "True also in life, since the Bible says you have a body with a spirit inside it." Keeping your...
...ground, old-car fanciers yield nothing to the airplane addicts in their fervor for the old and authentic. Proof of their enthusiasm was the 20,000 who showed up last Sunday in Brookline, Mass., to preview Parke-Bernet's old-car auction of 65 antique and classic models.

The Royal prefers full evening ballets in the classic tradition, like Kenneth MacMillan's fustian Romeo, and Juliet, Sir Robert Helpmann's production of Swan Lake, and Rudolph Nureyev's Nutcracker...
Except for his height (a tiny 4 ft. 9 in.), Dartmouth's Robert Reich could easily be taken for the classic Big Man On Campus. From a Republican family in New York's affluent Westchester County, he racked up a succession of A's in college, won a Rhodes scholarship, wrote and starred in campus plays, headed the student government. Yet he is in total rebellion against what he calls "status quo-ism: the feeling that order and status quo are the most important things?in the ghetto, in Southeast Asia and everywhere." Reich feels that his age group...
