...This concern paralleled trends in other parts of society -- in the civil rights movement, for example, where leaders became more concerned with registering Negro voters than with desegregating public places; or in state government, where one of the major issues became the distribution of power between urban and rural areas. The Berkeley explosions gave impetus to demands that the students themselves be allotted some kind of control over curriculum and living conditions. In their last year, a number of students in this class helped make student participation in University decision-making an important issue, leading Dean Monro to devote...
...found most of the maritime powers more than willing to affirm the gulf's international status. Getting them to back up the principle with force was another matter.

So does West Germany. Charles de Gaulle refused to sign the proposed declaration or even acknowledge the validity of the 1950 Tripartite Declaration by which France, Britain and the U.S. pledged to protect Israel's territorial integrity...

The deodorant and hairspray espionage is supposed to concern itself with the sweet success of smell. But along the line it develops that Interpol is also involved. Someone has been blending hallucinogens into the cosmetics and shipping them all over the world-an LSDevice that gives the stars a chance to plod after a preposterous plot between the opening...
...students and Faculty from this University -- and from others throughout the nation -- will have a chance to turn that concern into opposition, to organize large numbers of people in other communities into a pressure group for peace. Vietnam Summer, an anti-war program headquartered in Cambridge, will provide funds, advice and workers to any group (whether radical SDS or moderate Republican) seeking to reverse the Administration's present course. It will support education programs for conscientious objectors and slumdwellers, but its major tactic will be the teach-out, community organizing in middle class neighborhoods...
