...term-paper mills [March 27]: we wonder who should cast the first stone. Trusting students often discover to their dismay that the laboriously researched results of their term papers, seminar reports and theses may later turn up in the publications of their teachers, without as much as a footnote mention of where the material was obtained. A graduate student often undertakes a portion of his profs research. This may be published by the faculty member with no recognition of grad-student contributions.

...Senate Judiciary Committee originally convened seven weeks ago for what seemed the short-order task of confirming Richard Kleindienst as Attorney General.

It only hurt vastly the team's chances for making next year a more successful one. The players on the team were al very disappointed with this year and nobody will deny that problems existed on the team, but the place for such grievances...
Philip Jones Griffiths is a young Welshman, a Magnum photographer-writer who worked in Viet Nam roughly for five years (1966-71). He hates the war, and his book, particularly the captions and brief texts that begin its various sections, will perhaps initially dismay even some readers who would like to run, not walk, to the nearest exit in Viet...
