Word of Moore's FBI connection spread through the radical community, and she was ostracized. Whenever she attended meetings, she was surrounded by a circle of empty seats. She sought to counteract her alienation by making a full confession of her past links to the FBI. To reporters, radio interviewers and anyone else who would listen, she would pour forth self-criticism and expound on Marxist and Maoist theories. Whereupon both the FBI and the radicals dropped her entirely. Still longing for the thrills of clandestine work, she cultivated ties with San Francisco police, who in turn...
Nixon's apparent unawareness of the program was disclosed by Tom Huston, 34, reputed author of the 1970 White House plan that proposed illegal break-ins, wiretaps and mail intercepts to counteract radical activity. The plan, he now concedes, was largely irrelevant because the CIA had already adopted many of those practices. "If we had known all these tools were being used and were still not getting results," said Huston, "it might have changed our whole approach." Mainly because of the opposition of FBI Director J.

Since the Nazi Holocaust, which wiped out one-third of the world's Jews, "Jewish survival" has been a slogan that encompasses a number of issues.

Another, and some say the greatest threat to Jewish survival is being increasingly talked about: the trend among modern Jews to have small families. In the U.S., for example, enrollment in synagogue classes and day schools has declined by roughly one-fourth since 1965, owing largely to the falling Jewish birth...
Naturally, the AHA is always trying to find ways to involve more alumni, particularly now that economic problems have made the private gift more important. A drive is underway to attract younger alumni to counteract the long-standing tendency of alumni to "disappear until their tenth reunion," as Shultz puts it. Maurice Lazarus '37, former AHA president, already sees a "growing interest on the part of more recent alumni," and the AHA is considering forming a New Class Officers' Organization that would bring together young alumni between reunion years. Shultz imagines this group will offer six week seminars...
