...grading. These faculty misgivings are not wholly irrational. But to vent them on a proposal that would demand serious examination of a student's idiosyncratic program creates a not uncommon union between pedagogic conservatives, who resent the symbolism of any change, and pedagogic rebels, whose visions of dramatic change differ so greatly among each other that I find it hard to imagine them agreeing on an alternative set of curricula. A good many students and some faculty would like to return to a system of free electives, abandoning both concentrations and General Education; the proposal for Special Concentrations is sufficiently...
...Differing Mores. Facing that problem, Westmoreland told a Washington meeting of the Association of the U.S. Army that young men are readily "turned off" by Army exercises that seem to have no "perceivable need." He has already instructed commanders to avoid any make-work assignments. Noting that the average age of soldiers in the Army today is less than 23, he conceded that the "social mores" of many of them differ sharply from those of older officers. He suggested that some of these differences can be accommodated by the services. Aides explained that the Army will permit dissent...
Third: The recent bombing of the Center was in part encouraged by an attitude toward violence fostered by various individuals and groups in the community.

Some of the firing apparently was done by Broussard and another jittery grocery-store owner, Sidney Forman. When the shooting was over, three blacks were wounded and a fourth lay motionless under a street lamp for more than two hours; both police and residents feared to present themselves as targets in the light. The man, Kenneth Borden, 24, was dead when residents finally reached him. Sporadic violence, mostly firebombings, continued nightly in and outside the project, as the death...
...first pop-top garments were almost as stiff as their medieval counterparts. But Chavez has made them much more supple. "They fit like a second skin," he claims. "As you wear them, they change shape a little and mold themselves to the contours of the body." Rings differ too. Budweiser's rings are light and flexible, Miller High Life's are "soft," and Pepsi's provide a heavier, stiffer garment...
