...been admitted to Peking on a cultural exchange program, then set to work. Some parts were easy. "The price list for food," says Girard, "was taken right off the stalls in the Peking markets, the section on Chinese cooking from actual menus of banquets we attended." The group questioned every tourist, businessman and teacher who came through Peking about his travels inside China, then sent the information out of China in the safety of French diplomatic packets. Forbidden to visit the grave of Confucius in Shantung, Girard contrived to overfly it in a small plane so as to describe...
...Brazilian Indians' plight caused a worldwide outcry that may just save them from extinction. Newspapers from Rio de Janeiro to Paris and Washington focused on their problems. An open letter asking help for the Indians was sent to Brazilian President Arthur da Costa e Silva by a group of French anthropologists, including Claude Levi-Strauss, who set forth his philosophy of structuralism in Tristes Tropiques, which he wrote after studying the Brazilian Indian (TIME Essay, June 30, 1967). Meeting in Mexico, the sixth Interamerican Indigenist Congress demanded protection for Brazil's Indians, most of whom constituted the last...
...chromosome seems to be as sociated with below-average intelligence, tall stature and severe acne-traits that might result from the hormone-stimulating effects of the duplicated chromosome.

Long Challenge. Much of the blame falls on President Grayson Kirk, whose aloof, often bumbling administration has proved unresponsive to grievances that have long been festering on campus. Last month, when a group led by Students for a Democratic Society marched into Low Library to protest a university ban on indoor demonstrations, Kirk began disciplinary proceedings against six of the leaders. Feeling thus challenged, and long provoked, the SDS last week organized a defiant demonstration. The students demanded that the charges against the six be dropped, and also seized the occasion to protest the construction of a new off-campus...
...student power soon came up against black power. Arguing that the white SDS insurgents in front of Coleman's office were not sufficiently militant, a group of 60-odd black students concluded that the whites should leave -and at 6 o'clock the next morning they did. Left in control of the building, the Negroes eventually released their three hostages-26 hours after they were first taken captive. A number of the whites had meanwhile moved on President Kirk's office-he was not there at the time-in nearby Low Library. One group broke down...
