...project director," wild-haired Jerry Rubin, 29, a former Berkeley nonstudent leader, is an uncompromising radical. "We are now in the business of wholesale and wide spread resistance and dislocation of the American society," he proclaimed shortly before Dellinger's return from the Bratislava conference. Dellinger subsequently agreed that the aim of the Washington march would be to "shut down the Pentagon." Remembering the success that attended the Mob's peaceful antiwar marches last April, when 180,000 well-mannered dissidents in San Francisco and New York gave protest a more tolerable name, moderate members from the more...
...Hill, nothing has pleased Congress more than the Peace Corps' stubborn refusal to spend every last cent of its budget. Honoring the idealism of 11,902 volunteer workers in 52 countries, it has shunned frills and pared costs, saving taxpayers roughly $45 million over four years. Peace Corps Director Jack Hood Vaughn, 47, a feisty, compact (5 ft. 8 in.) redhead, was commended by Vice President Humphrey for slashing $495 off the upkeep of each corpsman last year...
Documents for Lunch. The other ring operated in the Foreign Ministry.

Leonore had access to everything. One by one, she stuffed papers in her purse and took them home at lunchtime for a quick snap from Heinz's ready camera...
Goddard's opinion, which carries considerably more weight than that of any private physician, was particularly surprising because the FDA director has been so strict in demanding that drug companies show clear proof of the efficacy and safety of their products before he allows them on the market. There is still almost no research, however, into what marijuana does-and does not do-to the human mind and body and no scientific evidence that proves or disproves that it is better or worse than alcohol...
Thus the FDA director was in the contradictory position of approving-if only off the cuff-a drug that has not had thorough scientific inspection. He had previously complained that American families waste money on unneeded vitamin pills and had roundly condemned children's candy cigarettes-which he thinks might lead them eventually to the real thing. Last week, though he later qualified his remarks enough to note the legal and possible long-term hazards of marijuana, Goddard's basic equation of pot and liquor still stood. Immediate outrage followed. Among the most incensed was Dr. Robert...
