...tragedies like Bill's are old hat. Everyone knows all about the so-called new mood on campus--grade consciousness, the pre-professional crunch and ruthless competition--and what it drives some students to do. College administrators seek more than ever to downplay the morbid and to be more tolerant of the ethical transgressions (Harvard, for instance, readmitted this year a student who last year forged a series of medical school and scholarship recommendations). The media, on the other hand, has feasted on this emerging spectacle; few major publications have failed to make a big splash out of some variation...
...Along with their internal problems that counsel against renewed fighting, Arabs and Israelis alike know the U.S. is too hamstrung by its presidential election this year to assert the leadership necessary to produce new momentum in lieu of war. But 1977 will be the year of the crunch. Israel is fearful-and the Arabs hopeful-of heavy postelection pressure on Jerusalem to withdraw from occupied territories.

...trouble. Says Gerald McChesney, president of Fort Vancouver Plywood Co. in Washington: "This could kill us-99% of our timber comes from the Pinchot National Forest." As for prices, predicts Lewis Krauss, partner in the Rough & Ready Timber Co. of Cave Junction, Ore.: "We could have a wood crunch as bad as the oil crunch of two years...
