...Considering that the President had assembled a score of top aides and hauled them 8,700 miles to a remote rock in the western Pacific, spending more time in the air (36 hours) than on the ground (31 hours), it was only natural that the nation should expect dramatic results. There were none. Johnson simply reaffirmed his determination to stand fast in Viet Nam until Hanoi is ready to talk.

The "kill, kill, kill" spirit at North Hollywood High football games suggests a Nazi youth rally, claims the student-edited Participator. Such opinions are not precisely what most principals expect to see in their high school newspaper. In these cases, the authorities were in no position to object, since the articles appeared in off-campus publications. Catching the rebellious fervor of their college elders, high school students are turning out a rash of unsupervised and unauthorized "underground" newspapers to express what...
