...Rudolf Chernyayev, who were arrested last May for trying to buy secret information from a U.S. naval officer; in October they were sentenced to 50 years in prison for espionage. Even before the trial ended, negotiations for a swap began. President Carter directed National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski to conduct the talks with Soviet Ambassador Anatoli Dobrynin. The discussions went on for months in the offices of both negotiators, occasionally in Brzezinski's house in McLean, Va., where his daughter and Dobrynin's granddaughter sometimes rode horses together...

The movement countered establishment codes with its own, often unreasoning, standards of conduct; but it also widened the choices open to a later, more calculating, generation of students. John C. Marquand, senior tutor of Dudley House since 1970, describes the change as a shift in the College administration, a move to a "less interventionist" policy regarding student' private lives. Students now have less...
