...view of his critics, nothing has so become Pakistan President Mohammed Ayub Khan's autocratic leadership as his leaving of it. In so doing, Ayub has promised to restore universal suffrage and return Pakistan to the parliamentary system in a general election to be held near the end of the year. After a decade of one-man rule, the soldierly Ayub has announced his "irrevocable decision" to step aside at that point, leaving to a discordant array of opposition politicians the task of healing Pakistan's divisions, inflamed by five months of anti-government disorders. Last week...
Destruction becomes an end in itself. At Roosevelt University in Chicago, some 150 protesters swarmed into the president's office, smashed newsmen's tape recorders, threatened secretaries. The reason? They wanted five students who had been suspended in a previous disturbance to be reinstated. Damage has been done to people as well as property. In the act of setting a bomb in the Creative Arts Building at San Francisco State College this month, a 19-year-old student was blinded and maimed. A security guard at the same college is still hospitalized from an injury suffered...
...worst student disturbance in the recent history of U.S. education seemed to be nearing an end last week. After a violent, 134-day boycott of San Francisco State College, representatives of the Black Students Union and the Third World Liberation Front signed an armistice.

On the other hand, artistic achievement still earns points. To that end, one Emory applicant used a particularly impressive approach: he sent an anthology of his poetry, urgently requesting its return because the only other copy was in the hands of a publisher. "I doubt that it was," says an Emory admissions man, "but it made a good story...
...most dramatic movie sequences was an astronaut's-eye view of reentry, looking up through a window while the spacecraft plunged through the atmosphere, blunt end down. An orange-yellow glow filled the window as the heat shield became incandescent. Fiery chunks torn from the shield hurtled past the window. Shroud lines could be seen whipping in the wind, and viewers could almost feel the jerk as the or-ange-and-white main chutes opened, abruptly slowing the descent. The scene ended with the sky and clouds gyrating sickeningly, and the colorful chutes appearing and disappearing in the window...
