...most elaborate U.S. function for the Queen was a state dinner in the White House Rose Garden, bordered with Queen Elizabeth roses. Under a gleaming white canopy and with TV cameras recording the event (see SHOW BUSINESS & TV), 224 guests gathered in a dazzle of diamonds and a cloud of pastel-tinted chiffon and crepe. Among them were Lady Bird Johnson, Alice Roosevelt Longworth, Telly Savalas (star of Kojak, the Queen's favorite TV program), Olympic Skater Dorothy Hamill and White House Economic Adviser Alan Greenspan, who escorted TV's Barbara Walters...
...earth trying desperately to be diners rather than dinners. Some species, however, live in societies so well structured that humans might profit by emulating them. Honeybees group together in hives or colonies that might be compared to the human body?the queen, the only fertile female in a hive, functioning as the reproductive system; the workers, or sterile females, who gather nectar and feed the young, as the arms, legs and digestive tract; the drones, whose sole function is to fertilize the queen, as the heart that keeps the system going...

...reasons for the unacceptability of ROTC, in its function as a training ground for the United States military, should be immediately apparent. Since World War II, the United States military has been the primary instrument of an interventionist foreign policy designed to suppress the initiatives of Third World countries towards economic and political self-determination. The full implications of this policy were seen in the fifteen years of war in Southeast Asia where the armed forces conducted a campaign of terror and murder against the Indochinese people. The aggression of the Marines against Cambodia in the Mayaguez incident suggests that...
