...Richard Nixon, who has had little time to act on the strong recommendations of his environmental task force, the Santa Barbara disaster was a reminder of the ineffective, 15-year-old laws that rule offshore drilling. Nixon promised to put fresh teeth in federal regulations "so that this kind of incident will not occur again." But his Secretary of the Interior did little to reinforce the President's pledge. Nixon had sent Walter Hickel to the disaster area in a presidential jet. At first, Hickel impressed Santa Barbarans by persuading all oil companies in the area to suspend operations...
...EVIDENCE of fresh interest in urban problems visible in virtually every department of the University last year culminated in May with the appointment of a University-wide Committee on the University and the City. Its mission was not to study cities abstractly or in general terms, but to inquire specifically how this University is relating to its own immediate environment. Is our relationship with our environment constructive or destructive? Is the University behaving as a good and responsible neighbor? What sorts of things can universities in general and this University in particular properly do to help in the solution...
...representative on the committee of the Faculty or Arts and Sciences. he was especially well qualified for this assignment because of the familiarity he has gained in recent years with at least some problems of cities through his own empirical research and writing. The committee's report includes a fresh attempt to say what a unversity is and to suggest what such an institution's role should be today. It also seeks to throw light on the complexity of the wider community in which this University finds itself. It deals with university degree programs and the community; university organization...

Such a settlement would protect the Arabs and presumably consolidate Russia's position in the Middle East. But the Russian initiative also stems from fear that any all-out conflict might involve the two superpowers in a nuclear showdown...
Ramparts had been all but bankrupt from the moment it was converted in 1962 from a mediocre Catholic literary quarterly into a rampaging crusader for leftist causes. It employed highly emotional writing and skilled promotion techniques to magnify its occasional and not really fresh revelations-including covert CIA funding of the National Student Association and military-financed secret research at universities. Circulation rose to a high of about 225,000. It has been losing some $20,000 an issue, partly because of its flashy, full-color format (says Hinckle: "I hate butcher paper"). A contributing reason was the fact that...
