...these student objections have shaken the resolve of the Faculty or the Administration. The CRR has continued serenely to operate without student representation. Its rules governing hearings are a mockery of established judicial procedure. Almost two hundred students have been disciplined by a body that permits the admission of hearsay evidence, is immune from judicial review, and uses explicitly political questioning in secret hearings--a practice which is totally inconsistent with the University's professed commitment to the values of free rational discourse...
...earlier cases happened to spot her. She was dissuaded from further visits, and her employer recovered. Again police could find no evidence to prove that Lilly had ever bought or administered arsenic, so they brought no charges.

...rules under which the program operates are strict. Helpers are forbidden to exchange medical information with their "patients," particularly hearsay about new treatments. Nor, in order to avoid emotional involvement and dependency, are they allowed to make more than three visits to any one patient. Even these limited contacts may end traumatically.

European speculators have been trading bits of unfounded hearsay that the Italian central bank was secretly selling some of its dollars for gold on the free market and that the U.S. Congress was somehow planning to double the price of gold. More sensible investors were troubled by the huge U.S. budget deficit that Nixon disclosed two weeks ago-which they feared would lead to further dollar-weakening American inflation-and by the gap between Europe's relatively high interest rates...
