Levinson has consciously tried to avoid the pitfalls of so many other studies of men in their worlds: a too-narrow focus of research. Psychologists tend to study the ego's changing role and function (Erikson) or a man's changing defense mechanisms to deal with the world (Harvard's George E. Vaillant); sociologists focus on men's work or class or world-view; anthropologists on the nature of his ties to his family, community, religion, or nation.

Such common identification is necessary so that whenever students, in the assembly or in the streets, gather to protest any individual policy, or demand some specific redress, they will realize that the problem is much larger. The action they seek must ultimately not only right some immediate wrong, but also strengthen students' rights...

The diaphragm emits a millisecond "chirp" that bounces back from the object aimed at and, in a series of steps that take a fraction of a second, fixes the lens at the precise focus, from 10 in. to infinity. Not an accessory, the device is an integral part of the camera, which will go on sale late this year. List price: about $280, v. $233 for the regular SX-70, which produces developed color pictures in minutes...
