...Cambridge, the other side is repelling the Fugs assault without recourse to law. Last month, the parents of a minor filed a formal criminal complaint against Briggs and Briggs for sellingThe Fugs, a record which, claimed the parents, was indeed "harmful to minors" under the provisions of Section 28. In a subsequent meeting with Cambridge Judge Lawrence T. Feloney, spokesmen for Briggs and Briggs agreed not to sell The Fugs or The Village Fugs, their first album. The judge dismissed the case without determining the legal status of the records...
Nonetheless, the parents have cause for complaint. P.S. 80, for example, is an obsolescent fortress, erected in 1924, that serves Manhattan's East Harlem district. Nearly all of the 886 students in the primary grades are Negro or Puerto Rican. An alarming 82% of its second-graders, 90% of its fourth-graders and 94% of its fifth-graders read below national norms. Every year, more than half of the students shift to another school as their parents change tenements. Of those who remain at P.S. 80, half will drop out of high school...
...word of truth in them, great long analytical pieces written by people you never met, never saw.

Promoted to dean in 1958, Monro was well liked by the students, despite his 1963 public complaint that "wild parties" and "sexual intercourse" were commonplace in the Harvard dorms. He later conceded that he had overstated the problem and allowed that "a degree of companionship is very important in a large impersonal college." Monro also designed Harvard's freshman seminars, served as an effective middle man between...
Part of the UAW's complaint included criticism of Meany's autocratic control of the executive council. One labor mediator points out that "Meany has strong personal convictions. He is blunt in his convictions and speaks the language of his colleagues. Reuther does not. He is too intellectual." But what Reuther sees as autocracy is only the executive council's reaction. The fact that the AFL scarcely acts on social issues and Reuther's knowledge that he has no chance of taking over the AFL cause him great frustration. The UAW complaint and his recent resignation are manifestations of that...
