...have suffered outright defeats. The efforts of Ocean Hill-Brownsville are one example, but even in Philadelphia, where a dynamic school superintendent committed his prestige to expanding community involvement, the school bureaucracy stifled community efforts. In May, 1968, Mark Shedd, the Philadelphia superintendent, was forced to evade community groups' demand for control of a local school by setting up a commission to study their request--after he had promised a year and a half earlier that greater control...
Ford and Glimp also replied to the demand list. In response to the demand that Harvard abolish ROTC, Ford said, "I can't imagine the University breaking a contract unless it had a cause. That would be breaking the law." He added that the administration had already decide to "do all in our power" to replace ROTC scholarships, and dismissed the rent and building demands as beyond the Faculty's jurisdiction...

Last year the Japanese bought enough lumber to erect 40% of the U.S. output of one-family homes. In response to complaints that numerous small lumber mills as well as price stability have been imperiled, Congress last fall sharply limited exports of lumber harvested from federal forests. But prices have continued to rise, partly because of severe winter weather in the Pacific Northwest and the recent East Coast longshoremen...
