Just what Captain Bradley's "just" demands were became clearer when federal mediators hurried I.L.A. and N.Y.S.A. representatives into further bargaining sessions. Agreement had already been reached on some sticking points (welfare benefits, dues checkoff), and others seemed negotiable (wages, work-gang size). The big obstacle: I.L.A.'s demand that the present system of "pattern" bargaining-i.e., each port negotiates separate agreements with the I.L.A., using the New York contract as a guide-be replaced by a master contract allowing the union to negotiate major issues on a coastwide basis. When the N.Y.S.A. turned down this point...
There has never been a time in this country when we did not cherish, support, and seek to advance the opportunities for larger knowledge and clearer vision, for training young minds to love learning and to use it for human betterment. Two examples will serve to suggest the whole. In 1636 the Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay appropriated a quarter of their tax levy "towards a schoale or colledge." In 1862 the members of Congress by passing the Morrill Act gave impetus to the whole system of publicly supported institutions of higher learning in the United States...

But now, while there is a lull, for whatever reason, in the attack on academic freedom, major attention should be turned to securing the repeal and withdrawal of restrictive statutes and regulations, the cloak of due process under which the attackers of academic freedom operate. The best way to achieve this would seem to be for liberals to develop...
This week the crisis centered in London, and there was a possibility that it might eventually go to the United Nations. But whatever the technical course might be, it was clearer than ever before that the U.S. will have to play the most significant role in any solution that might be reached. "The gun is loaded, aimed, and the finger is on the trigger," said a neutral observer in crisis-torn Cairo last week, adding gratefully, "but the U.S. is the safety catch...
