...contradiction. Let us retitle the article "Third Exodus," since the first, as a result of persecution in virtually all European countries (save Spain), was to Polish sanctuary. Beginning with the "Jewish Edict" of 1264 and its nationwide reaffirmation in 1334, the Jews in Poland enjoyed unparalleled freedom, to the extent of effectual self-rule...
...possible solution would be for the Front to forswear violence in return for the privilege of forming a political party that would exert power in South Viet Nam like any other party, to the extent that it wins votes.

...channels of communication between Ivy athletes and professional teams should be formalized to a far greater extent. Perhaps no athlete should be permitted to begin contract talks with a pro team until he has completed participation in all sports on the varsity level. Or pro teams should be required to work through the athletic department of the school when making overtures to any particular athlete. In any case, something must be done to assist ivy athletes in their dealings with pro teams...
