...found the Chicanos strikingly similar in mood and plaint to their French-Canadian cousins in Quebec. Sandra Burton observed the importation of "green-card" nonunion workers from Mexico and covered the climax of a 100-mile march between El Centro and Calexico, in which, she reports, the heat hit 120° and blisters "were like merit badges." At the end, when Union Leader Cesar Chavez began to speak, she thought that she had obtained a perfect worm's-eye view amid the swarming crowd by squirming under the flatbed truck that served as a podium-until Texas Senator Ralph...
...fresh rapport with audiences. Though no American film maker has yet achieved the stature of Italy's Visconti or Britain's David Lean, a handful seem to be well on their way: ∙ ARTHUR PENN. A product of television and stage work, Penn successfully brought his Broadway hit, The Miracle Worker, to the screen. At first, he proved better at transferring than at creating. His early experiment, The Left-Handed Gun, starring a self-conscious Paul Newman as Billy the Kid, paid heavy homage to the Actors Studio. Mickey One was a sedulously Francophilic film with Warren Beatty...
...little padrone of the Bolsheviki," Walter Winchell a "gents-room journalist," and Henry A. Wallace a "slobbering snerd." His most abiding hatred was for the Roosevelts.

He waged a vendetta against Eleanor Roosevelt, whom he dismissed as "La Boca Grande" (the big mouth). Pegler once defended such tactics with a confession: "My hates have always occupied my mind much more actively than my friendships...

Since then, protectionism has been staging a global comeback and has involved the U.S. in disputes with many nations. In Europe, a host of new nontariff barriers have partly offset the cuts in duties. Special taxes on imports last year helped West Germany to record a surplus in trade with the U.S. for the first time...
...exercise caution when dealing with bills relating to campus disruptions. Arguing that college administrators are best qualified to deal with disturbances, Nixon, HEW Secretary Robert Finch, and Commissioner of Education James E. Allen Jr., have all spoken out against measures which would cut off Federal aid to universities hit by disruptions. Though Attorney General John Mitchell has argued for stronger measures, the Administration's only new proposal on colleges has been one which would allow universities to apply for Federal restraining orders against students who interfere with the operation of the institutions...
