...brainpower, which is C.U.N.Y.'s most important function, Bowker has presided over incredible growth; since he took office, his university has added three four-year campuses and three community colleges to its units scattered throughout the city (see map). Two more will open next fall. They range from Georgian-style Brooklyn College and Park Avenue's Hunter College to raw two-year schools in poverty areas and the John Jay College of Criminal Justice for New York policemen. C.U.N.Y.'s 195,000 students make it the third largest institution of higher education in the country, after...

Led by William Carlos Williams, poets like Ashbery, Kenneth Koch, and later Frank O'Hara argued...
...order, which set guidelines for carrying out the Supreme Court directive of the week before, was issued by Bell, a Georgian, and two fellow Southerners on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. It made it clear that the time for litigation had run out and promised a period of painful readjustment in the Mississippi schools. It also constituted a major rebuke for the Nixon Administration's kid-glove policy toward segregation. "You can complain and feel bad," Bell told local school officials, "but there's nothing you can do about...
