...Perhaps it would be beneficial for the college campus activity in the 1980s to have the international flavor of the 13th century rendition of its counterpart, along with the organized student guilds also found during that period [Sept. 13]. Once again, students could fire and hire faculty, plan course content, overrule the administration, and with rapidity move their centers of learning to meet their needs...
...accused "people in high party positions" of deliberately "sabotaging 'the Moscow agreements." Dubček himself may well be at the top of the list. It has not escaped the Russians that he has managed to countervail the loss of many a reformer by sacking a pro-Moscow counterpart (last week's swap: Hájek for Communications Minister Karel Hoffman, who compliantly ordered radio and TV to go off the air shortly after the invasion began...
...Richter is devoting his fiction more and more to recollections of the kind hearts and sometimes genteel people who lived in the town where he grew up, Pine Grove, Pa. (pop. 2,267). He has written three books about the mores of "Unionville, Pa.," Pine Grove's fictional counterpart, and they are, for the most part, splendidly solid. His latest, alas, is not.

He is trying to strengthen his knee now in the hope that he can get by without an operation, and eventually help out at halfback. Tony Smith, currently out with a bad hamstring pull, John Kiernan, also injured, and Bruce Freeman are sufficiently...
...unlikely that the Senate will kill the agreement. One clue to Congress' attitude came from Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield, who had been pressing for additional reductions in the U.S. Seventh Army in Europe. Further cutbacks "at this time" are not feasible, he said last week. His Republican counterpart, Everett Dirksen, suggested an embargo on trade with the Soviets. In the nation, there was a notable lack of hysteria. The mood was one of disappointment and resignation rather than rage...
