Wisconsin's Melvin Laird also backed Goldwater in 1964, and is not committed to any candidate this year. As chairman of the House Republican Conference, Laird said, his principal concern was which presidential nominee could help elect the most Republican Congressmen. Laird thinks Rockefeller is that man; and the latest Louis Harris poll, matching Rockefeller, Nixon, Romney and Ronald Reagan against Lyndon Johnson, supports Laird's view. The survey found Rockefeller and Johnson tied. Nixon trailed by nine points, Romney by 13 and Reagan by 14. But, warned Laird, Rockefeller cannot afford to wait until the convention, because...

When looked at in the widest context, this point of view seems unwarranted. Foundation wealth represents the tiniest fraction of all private wealth in this country, which is estimated at $2.15 trillion. Foundation grants account for only 8% of total U.S. philanthropy, 80% of which comes from the individual giver, in a gamut of generosity that embraces large and small offerings to hospitals, churches, the Community Chest and even...
...college as well as the student, the issue of the war has finally been brought home--if not by radicals, then at least by the SSS. Students who are concerned about occupational choice cannot fail to see the sacrifice of academic freedom. Finally college administrations, if their concern is education rather than simply the supply of "more effective human beings," cannot fail to see the sacrifice of academic goals...
