Last week the White House began a coordinated counterattack, mobilizing Republican Senators, the Republican National Committee and the Justice Department in an effort to discredit Anderson, his charges and the press coverage of the ITT case. Most dramatically, ITT Lobbyist Dita Beard, from the Denver hospital where she is said to be suffering from severe angina pectoris, issued a statement disavowing her now famous memo as a forgery, "a false and salacious document." Nebraska Senator Roman Hruska damned the hearings as "this smear-a-day campaign" brought on "because of a spurious document dredged up by the Louella Parsons...
...contributors, who are not paid, delight in attack and counterattack. Many of the debates, like those in Sh'ma's youthful prototypes, revolve around how religious law applies to such touchy subjects as homosexuality, legalized gambling and the conspicuous consumption involved in weddings.

This year the death count will amount to 339,000 in the U.S. In 1972, according to the National Cancer Institute...

In all, it expelled 90 Soviet officials and barred the re-entry of 15 others...
...student body proved more receptive than ever before to University counterattack: before long, most of the disrupters were spending their dinner hours defending the action to students who asked how anyone could excuse such a vicious attack on free speech at Harvard. Three years of explanation that the University was not neutral, that it was inextricably tied to the war-making apparatus of the monster society it lived in, that it could not honestly pose as the defender of liberal values-all seemed wiped out. More students than ever seemed willing to believe that Harvard could be a sanctuary...
