Most faculty members and administrators here blame this situation on the draft. Until now, Harvard's solution for unhappy students has been to suggest a leave of absence. David Riesman, Harvard's guru-in-residence, expressed this attitude when he said that "in the absence of the draft, dropping out is a very good thing, both for the student and for the school." After a year or so of living in the big outside world, the student decides that either pumping books is preferable to pumping gas, in which case he returns, or else it isn't, in which case...

In Washington, two observances were marked by quiet meditation, and efforts to shut Negro classrooms and urge workers off their jobs for the day proved largely ineffectual.

"The real crisis of America today," Nixon declared at one point, "is a crisis of the spirit. What America needs most today is what it once had, but has lost: the lift of a driving dream." Richard Nixon's personal dream is driving him from a $200,000-a-year New York law practice into what he referred to last week as "the snows of New Hampshire...
