...CAMPUS UNREST. Congressmen have readied a spate of bills to suppress campus disorder-and thus caused a fast turnaround by the Administration. As recently as mid-May, Attorney General John Mitchell assured Congress that there was no need for any such new measures. Yet last week, the White House put out word that it was considering legislation extending to federal courts the power to issue injunctions preventing students from disrupting classes. The aim is to head off more stringent legislation originating in Congress...
Curiously, the Cabinet may be even less important under Pompidou than it was under De Gaulle. For although the imperious general ruled France, in many areas he failed to govern it. Many of the details of his policies and much of the routine administration did not interest him, and he left such matters to his ministers. That is not likely to be true of Pompidou, who is a superb administrator and has already told his inner circle that he intends to govern as well as rule...

Last week, in reaction to the proclamation of a new constitution for the self-governing colony, Spain struck the harshest blow yet: it closed the border completely...
...hear the West German generals tell it, their soldiers are so inept and so lacking in morale that they would scarcely be a match for the Beefeaters in the Tower of London or the halberd-bearing papal guard. Speaking to a closed session of officers at the Leadership Academy near Hamburg, Major General Helmuth Grashey complained that the Bundeswehr (literally, Federal Defense Force) is burdened with too much civilian bureaucracy and hounded by an ombudsman who undermines officers' authority by listening sympathetically to soldiers' gripes...
