According to reports from Moscow, the Ryazan branch of the Soviet Writers Union recently yielded to party pressure to expel Solzhenitsyn from the organization. The move was taken to punish the 50-year-old author for "conduct unbecoming a Soviet writer," for "actively using the bourgeois anti-Soviet press for anti-Soviet propaganda," and for failing to combat the use of his name abroad.

The penchant for sudden strikes stems largely from the fact that British labor contracts are not legally enforceable. Until they are, there will be little chance to change the landscape of labor anarchy in Britain...
Forty seniors said they would burn their diplomas and walk out of Commencement ceremonies to protest Harvard's policies on ROTC and community expansion.
