...stalwarts of Poland's Communist Party rose to their feet and sang: "May he live 100 years." All in all, it could have been a national birthday party for Party Boss Wladyslaw Gomulka-but instead it was the tensest moment in his nearly dozen years in power. After eleven days of nationwide student demonstrations, Gomulka, 63, finally spoke out in an effort to restore order to Poland. What he said was sur prisingly mild but, partially for that reason, it failed to mollify the rebellious students. As they began a third week of defiance of the regime, the students...
...back room of a stucco house in the hills of Amman, a grave young Palestinian university student squatted on the floor and told eleven friends that he had just joined a guerrilla unit to fight the Israelis. "Any age, any size, either sex," he said. "It makes no difference. They are on my land, and I shall kill them." In his shell shattered villa overlooking the River Jordan, Citrus Grower Raouf Halabi, 50, a graduate of Beirut's American University, reported proudly that his riverfront groves have become a nightly jumping-off place for raiding parties into Israel...

So imagine the impertinence when a slender, 21-year-old sophomore from the University of Texas at El Paso swiped all the action from his elders...
Purge Scene. What they get for their $40 tuition is eleven 2½-hour seminars, including screenings and analyses of TV pilot films. Dozier also gives the floor to big-name guest lecturers whose castigations and confessions are reminiscent of scenes from Nurnberg or a Moscow purge. Screen Gems' Harry Ackerman, one of TV's hottest hit makers (Dennis the Menace, Bewitched, The Flying Nun), conceded that the only hope for quality programming is a fourth network, run by Washington. Another visiting professor, Lee Rich, TV vice president of the Leo Burnett ad agency, said that there...
