ASKING the University to specify how it will punish various forms of demonstration this Friday is asking the Administration to settle on a harsher, less flexible treatment of potential demonstrators than it intends. Those contemplating a violation of the Dow recruiter's civil liberties want to know just how much they are putting on the line by breaking the law. The legal analogy is a dubious one for the relationship between students and administrators; but even if it applies, the University, like a judge, should not be forced to pass sentence before it knows the details of the specific case...
...called for a gun-control law to halt "the trade in mail-order murder" (an appeal that roused Robert Kennedy to his only applause during the 50-minute speech). To end "the sale of slavery to the young," he called for a narcotics-control act that would impose harsher penalties for the sale of LSD "and other dangerous drugs," and urged adding 219 agents to the present total of 639 in the Narcotics Bureau and in the Health, Education and Welfare Department's Bureau of Drug Abuse Control. In addition, he asked Congress to authorize 128 more FBI agents...
Dissent is a cherished right in this country, and above all at Harvard. In its harsher forms, as in yesterday's sit-in, it may inconvenience the University. But fostering dissent is the legitimate business of any university, and a college can afford to be far more flexible than society at large in setting limitations on the way protest may be conducted. The Administration, and Dean Glimp in particular, acted courageously and wisely in allowing the demonstration to run its course...
...some (such as Rhone-Poulenc and Michelin) skyrocketed by 40% or more. Yet the French economy remains in the doldrums. Unemployment is high, industrial production is sluggish, and most French businessmen are worried about the July 1, 1968, deadline when disappearing Common Market tariff barriers will expose them to harsher competition. Reasons for the stock climb: Bourse prices simply got so low that they began to look like bargain-basement buys to investors throughout Europe; the French government intervened to inspire stock purchasing by, among other things, allowing French companies to use up to 10% of their capital...
Morgenthau's plan, extreme as it was, forced other Administration thinkers-including a reluctant and obviously ailing F.D.R.-to give serious thought to the shape of postwar Germany. At the Quebec Conference in September 1944, Morgenthau got F.D.R. to win concessions from Churchill on a harsher German policy. Then the politics of the 1944 presidential campaign entered the equation...
