...California at Berkeley (20,000), where student leaders set up petition-signing booths, predicted 5,000 signatures by this weekend. Berkeley's movement reached a high point last October when Freshman Frederick Moore Jr., pacifist son of an Air Force colonel, went on a 59-hour, anti-ROTC hunger strike, took an "honorary withdrawal" from the university...
...past 130 years. Rose had no plans for parting with any of it until last year, when he got a letter from the mayor of Jerusalem, inquiring about his ideas for the collection and informing him that a local art show had drawn 600,000 visitors.

Last fall the America-Israel Cultural Foundation helped arrange a meeting between Rose and Bezalel's boyish, brilliant director, Karl Katz. Katz agreed that the hunger was there, and gave one cogent reason: there is hardly any modern art displayed in the Middle East.

He was a Life Scout, captain of the debating team (his coaching methods were successful enough to propel his kid sister into the state declamation championship), and, inevitably...
...Rome, the pilgrims will visit the Circus Maximus, where early Christians were fed to hungry lions. Those who hunger for revenge can get it outside the arena at a refreshment stand that sells lionburgers; leftover anger can be worked off at the David and Goliath Slingshot Galleries. But, say the promoters, "above all else, Bible Storyland will be a happy place." One of the gayer rides will take paid customers to heaven -in a gold litter drawn by a team of cherubs. From the air, the "Shrine of Faith Plaza," Ur and the caravan route will be laid...
