...accustomed of late. President Bok, in his refusal to address or even recognize the existence of the peaceful protestors who attended the opening, yet again demonstrated his unwillingness to confront the South Africa issue openly and forcefully.

Michigan, for example, raised the limit to 21, but large numbers of teen-agers drive on weekends to Detroit's neighbor, Windsor, Ont. where they can legally drink at 19.
