...charge that he "leaped into the issue"; while your previous statement says that the issue had been proposed for debate in city council five times, and had five times been refused. Action following this could hardly be termed a headlong "leap." Your solution is that either Father Groppi cool off or that the white community become sympathetic. That the latter would happen of itself is absurd; that the former would bring about the latter is equally absurd. Pressure, unfortunately, has been proven effective. "Cooling off" could at most bring a new string of promises to be broken...
...part-time jobs, including baby-sitting and house cleaning, she works on the Stanford Daily and helps run the university's International Center. Peggy has had to sit through interminable and often emotional discussions of Viet Nam and hear her father's policies attacked.

In the opinion of Ulm's deputy director, Dr. Wilhelm Lehmbruck, "It is this remoteness, this kind of alienation, that makes him seem attractive today...
...auto industry has seldom seen. To tout American Motors' 1968 Ambassador, which boasts air conditioning as standard equipment, one commercial features a gum-chewing floozy strolling along a desert road; she refuses to be picked up by drivers of non-A.M.C. cars, but happily hops into a cool, comfortable Ambassador. Another commercial spoofs Detroit's penchant for depicting its cars in country-club surroundings. It shows elegantly coifed beauties swooping from swank settings into modest A.M.C. Rebels just as contentedly as if the cars were Continentals. Meanwhile, an off-camera voice proclaims: "Either we're charging...
