...ever-present problem of student power was expressed quite efficiently in "Power to Participate" [March 15]. I could not agree more with the University of Pennsylvania's system of student participation in major decisions within the school. Bravo for its deep concern and action toward better development of our nation's future leaders...
...requests and equivocations that for now are sealed in Pentagon filing cabinets. Strategy aside, however, his clearest single failure was not to have built the South Vietnamese army into a respectable fighting force. His deputy and possible successor, General Creighton ("Abe") Abrams, 53, has made ARVN his principal concern for the past year...
Unemployment was his next concern: Alioto journeyed to Washington and New York-to squeeze 3,000 new maintenance jobs out of San Francisco-serving airlines, create job opportunities in the post office, fire department, trade unions and in the Bay Area Rapid Transit's 75-mile construction project, which includes a tunnel under Market Street. Manhattan Banker David Rockefeller bent to Alioto's urging that a $250 million Embarcadero construction project -known locally as "Rockefeller Center West"-soon get under way. By careful cajolery, Alioto persuaded Warner Bros, to build a public swimming pool in Hunters Point...

Oldsters who were leaving the city have been encouraged to remain by Alioto's concern: last week he proposed reducing transit fares for San Franciscans over 65 to 50 and, on a subsequent TV "phone-in," said he would try to get buses closer to the curb at pickup.

Last week he redeemed a painful campaign promise...

In 17 of the past 18 years, the U.ST has spent, lent or given away more money than it has taken in from abroad. Compared with the size of the U.S. economy (larger than all of Europe's), that balance of payments deficit seems trivial; it has averaged a mere 0.004% of the gross national product. But the dollars thus placed in foreign hands now total $34 billion, while the U.S. stock of gold has dwindled...
