...close harmony with the appearance of the sunspots. Thus there were fierce solar storms during and shortly after the record numerical peak in sunspots during 1957-58 and a long lull during the sunspot minimum in 1963-64. There is an even closer connection. Most of the violent solar eruptions occur near clusters of sunspots on the solar surface and seem to derive their energy from the magnetic fields that cause the spots. Suddenly flaring into extreme brilliance, a region hundreds of millions of square miles in area can erupt, shooting a stream of electromagnetic radiation and particles into space...
...American society will deteriorate. When there is so much unrest on the college level and in the cities over racial problems, urban problems and the war in Viet Nam, perhaps it is time to act to alleviate this unrest rather than stifle its expression so that it will merely erupt later...

Why, that is, beyond despair over the war and distaste for university bullying of the community, issues, common to all campuses. The Ivy Wall makes a flying reference that greater social awareness at Columbia and an insensitive administration might have triggered the crisis...
