...sense the "unheroic" President that Eugene McCarthy urged last fall. Nixon has not heaped promise on promise. He has instead pledged himself to consolidate and manage. He has walked through his role austerely, a man alone much of the time, not posturing or parading, but embracing the "normalcy" of those middle-class Americans who voted for him. His priorities read neatly-Viet Nam, inflation and crime. Billy Graham's spirituality pervades, the humor is genteel, and the thoughts drape sensibly, like Pat Nixon's wardrobe. The effect in Oklahoma and Colorado and Iowa, if not in the ghettos...
...intellectual arrogance of those in the previous Administrations who led the U.S. into the Viet Nam war, but is instead flexible enough to seek out the right course and attempt to follow it.

In Bakersfield, Calif., teen-agers have been given a $52,000 grant and professional help to prepare commercials, posters and bumper stickers (SMOKE, CHOKE, CROAK). The pilot project there has been so successful that it will be repeated in several other cities this fall. The director of the clearinghouse, Dr. Daniel Horn, a pioneer cancer researcher, urges medical men to deliver anti-smoking appeals while they treat patients in their offices. Horn figures that, in less than a minute, doctors and dentsts can recite enough evidence to frighten a smoker...
Students in History and Lit had circulated a petition asking for a postponement of the exam until the Fall. Clive said that he had considered the petition carefully, that it confirmed his feeling that students were concerned, but that he could not accept the proposal because it would put too much pressure on the examiners to give two exams in one year...
