...memorable escape route is the Coventry-Stratford-Cotswolds Loop, a drive of 200 to 300 miles that can take a leisurely three or four days, with scarcely a neon sign in sight. (A Leyland Mini rents for about $100 a week, unlimited mileage, and sips petrol as if it were rare brandy.) Coventry has risen nobly from the ashes of its 1940 bombing. Next to the surviving western spire of the late medieval cathedral stands the great modern cathedral with vertical thrusts of rose-colored stone and Graham Sutherland's striking altar tapestry...
...mile drive south leads to Warwick and its castle, one of Europe's best-preserved medieval fortresses. The venturesome wayfarer might try the Zetland Arms Pub below St. Mary's Church, with clean rooms and the best breakfast in town for $11 a guest. Less than ten miles south is Stratford-on-Avon.

The drive to end University investment in South Africa and to strengthen the Afro-American Studies Department received a morale boost and lots of free publicity from Monday's boycott of classes, but the gains were costly--the boycott alienated some students, and the protest apparently had little effect on University policy...
...addition to the petition drive UCAN has also planned a series of educational programs for the University Community about nuclear energy and its problrms. On May 16, a member of Physicians for Social Responsibility is scheduled to speak on the health hazards of radiation, and on May 23, George Wald, Higgins Professor of Biology Emeritus, will discuss the problem of nuclear power...
