...number of leading newspapers editorially worried about the impact of the Pope's edict on population-control programs or governments that are particularly susceptible to Catholic pressure, such as those in Latin America. Wrote West Berlin's liberal Die Zeit: "What kind of church leadership is it that is willing to throw all the warnings of science to the winds? How is this papal decree reconcilable with the command to love thy neighbor, when we already know that between now and 1980 approximately 40 million people will starve to death?" In Manhattan, demonstrators representing the Parents...
...sundial are 500 people ready to follow Mark Rudd (whom they don't particularly like because he always refers to President Kirk as "that shit-head"), into the Low Library administration building to conduct a demonstration against IDA and the gym and test Kirk's anti--indoor demonstration edict.

The National Student Association-which has urged an end to on-campus harassment of recruiters-last week filed suit in Washington demanding an injunction against enforcement of the Hershey edict. And even though Hershey at week's end softened his threat by absolving "lawful protesters" from priority call-up, to many ordinary Americans it seemed peculiar that the man who describes military duty as a "privilege" should extend it to those he seeks to punish...
