...grave mistake to encumber federal aid with restrictions which impose uniform requirements on matters of educational policy, unless such requirements are so imperative as to leave no room for honest debate or difference of opinion." Daly wrote Planing down to specifies he claimed higher proportions of women might "under-utilize our science faculties and require expensive additions to our faculties in already crowded departments..." A further discomfiting consequence, he said, could also loom. Alumni contributions might become more paltry as women allegedly donated at one quarter the per capita rate...
...convinced McGovern has made a grave mistake and breached his faith not only with Thomas Eagleton but also with regard to his own candidacy and our nation. Senator Eagleton's strength, wit and courage demonstrated his competence as a politician, his ability in adverse situations and the inequity of dropping him from the ticket.

Agnew's ventures into foreign policy, for example, have been uninspiring. He has represented the President overseas on five major tours, but mostly in areas dominated by right-wing dictatorships, whose leaders he has flattered more than protocol demands. His praise...
...cannot serve one's parents beyond the grave," sobs her youngest son at her funeral. This is her final gift to her children, rather than a reproof. Like Ozu, she realizes that, in modern Japan, they have neither the time nor the means to serve their parents, their ancestors, their family traditions. Her quiet death creates little stir, and is over so quickly that the inconvenience to her family is minimal. Left alone in the end, her husband is still surrounded by the rich web of time Ozu has managed to weave by his story. The family never speaks...
