...April 21 program will feature a seven-man symposium: Dr. Barry Commner, an ecologist at Washington University; Massachusetts State Senator John J. Moakley; Senator Edmund Muskie (D-Maine); Theodore Levitt, professor of Business Administration: George Wald, Higgins Professor of Biology; Dr. George Wiley, president of the Welfare Rights Association; and Malcolm Rifkin, a Washington city planner...
Unrealistic Objectives. Such a switch might appease many congressional critics of the present program, including Senators William Fulbright and Edmund Muskie, as well as George Aiken, who recently damned the existing scheme as "a diplomatic pork barrel."

He accused the Administration of falsely lulling the populace: Viet Nam has been "transformed in the public mind from the most critical issue of the times to just another policy problem." Muskie favors renewed debate...
...them, trim in tight bathing suits, seem more interested in the beefcake varsity football squad than in Paul, who spends a good deal of his time reading The Myth of Sisyphus and contemplating the infinite sorrow of existence. A crush on a sexy cheerleader named Christine (Lada Edmund Jr.) gets him into trouble with the gum-snapping football star (Jon Voight) and makes him, if not entirely a man, at least more than...
