...foreign policy, there is a need for something more than reaction to Soviet stimuli, more than an American slap for every Russian slap, and more than ineffective crash programs when the State years have been prosperous ones, and no doubt life on the upper levels of American society is as comfortable as it has ever been. Yet these facts remain, much as Mr. Nixon would like to hide them...
...monumental callousness, the University laid off two groups of scrubwomen in Widener Library, the first on December 1, the second on Dec. 21, 1929. A month later, the incident came to light in the Boston papers. The firing of the women, as the initial effects of the stock market crash were beginning to be felt, and just days before Christmas at that, would have been fodder for the Boston papers. The fact that they were given honorable discharges shortly after the State Minimum Wage Board had ordered Harvard to raise their wages from 35 to 37 cents an hour...
...thoughts on The Crimson we have already read, in making the last half of the decade the brightest period to date. News flowed in from the hard working editors and the hard-worked candidates.

Still, his action inevitably increased speculation that he was seeking to avoid further disclosures in the case...
...Woodstock was admittedly a haven for many and varied lifestyles. The residences, scattered along 1½ miles of the Upper West Side, housed the studious here, the activists there. Beards and long hair vied with modest sideburns, turtlenecks and slacks with cutoffs and bare feet. Some places became crash pads and beer-and-coffee houses for local activists (a number of the Woodstock Jesuits were active Berrigan antiwar allies). More than a few of the many visitors were young women. But the surviving Jesuit colleges are not that much different. Their seminarians live fraternity-style in neighborhood houses or apartments...
