...this, though: I care greatly for this University. It has in the last four years greatly broadened the intellectual horizons of many, including myself. It has furthermore, helped us all to grow as individuals, making the challenges of the future less foreboding. However, I refuse to believe that the continuing fulfillment of its mission must come at the expenses of the support of oppression and injustice in South Africa. It may take some financial prodding, but the University must be given a moral pinch or else it will continue to help prolong the tragic nightmare in South Africa. For this...
...Deutsch describes it, Central Europe in the 1920s and '30s was an exciting, stimulating, and at times frightening place in which to grow up. Among the friends and neighbors of the Deutsch family were many Sudetan Germans who felt they had been cheated out of self-determination at the end of World War I, and who consequently heartily approved--especially after two crippling depressions--of the ascension of Chancellor Hitler and of Hitler's intention to restore order and unite German people all over the world...

"The mere existence of that cell," he writes, "should be one of the greatest astonishments of the earth. People ought to be walking around all day, all through their waking hours, calling to each other in endless wonderment, talking of nothing except that cell." Thomas...
...demands for higher earnings will undoubtedly grow during the fall season unless ratings are on the upswing. By then, Fred Silverman, 41, NBC's $1 million-a-year president, will have had ample opportunity to work his programming magic, if he has any left. For Silverman, who made his reputation at CBS and ABC, the task is formidable. Past NBC programmers failed to foresee the impact that the post-World War II baby boom would have on the industry. When the network belatedly went after the youth market in 1974, it managed to alienate a goodly portion...
