...clear to all of us today, that Weber's conclusion is a sound one. We are too concerned with the dangers of "counter-productive" action not to pay heed to the foreseeable results of any political moves. At the same time no one suggests that we should be automatically crippled by an over-regard for the immediate consequences of an act. What is at stake are the conditions in which one refrains from or chooses to take political action, action which, to repeat, inevitably involves violence whether this is open or sublimated...
...kind of caustic Graduate. He is forced into combatting rampant evils like anti-Semitism with bewildered protests such as "Quite a lot of us are circumcised." (Try that at your parents' next bash.) From the audience's enthusiastic reception -- even though many looked suspiciously like their stage counter-parts -- it seems America finally does believe that there is indeed no such thing as a bad boy.

...Watson let it be known that he has visited 198 post offices in 48 states and covered a total of 89,000 air miles since his appointment last April. At most stops, Government-paid photographers snapped pictures of Watson shaking hands with postal employees while an aide clicked a counter each time Watson pressed the flesh.

...vulnerability of some so-called "growth stocks" shows up in the ratio between share prices and corporate earnings. Such issues now sell in the over-the-counter market at an average of 40 times their per-share profits, a height last reached shortly before the market's 1962 plunge. Since 1966, the average price-earnings ratio of American Exchange stocks has jumped from 10-1 to 26-1. By contrast, the Dow-Jones industrial average finished 1968 at a level only 16.7 times the average per-share earnings of its stocks, down from 17.2 a year earlier. The decline...
With Gallagher in foul trouble and Hardy and Kanuth tired, the Spartans, throwing in platoons of tall, muscular forwards, went on a 7-2 tear to open the half and then exchanged baskets until Harvard tried to mount a counter-charge with 14 minutes left. Sophomore forward Mike Janczewski, bothered the whole week by a sore tendon in his foot, hit a jump shot and then Dover and Gustavson tipped in shots to cut the lead to nine...
