...resisted the kind of publicity New York's Metropolitan Museum gained from its disclosure of the forged Greek horse, and it is unlikely to sponsor Alan Kaprow's next happening. Certainly the scholarship and aesthetic judgment Coolidge values so highly can thrive in this quietude. But whether the impact of this intellectual activity may be obscured, whether the intelligent decisions may lose the impact they have traditionally had in an age when one has to scream to be heard, Coolidge's successor must decide
Such pressures, direct and indirect, have had a profound impact on the 630,000 seniors who will pick up diplomas this spring. While many?perhaps a majority?are the familiar breed who spent their years at college in pursuit of an education or a profession without fretting too much over the meaning of either, even the quiet ones have been affected more than they show. Those who are in the really new mold sometimes show it by a defiance in dress: beards beneath the mortarboards, microskirts or faded Levis under the academic gowns.

...Brian Weiss of U.C.L.A., who ap pears on this week's TIME cover, pointedly conveys many of its new mold characteristics, opinions and attitudes. His voice is amplified more loudly than most since it is reflected in the Daily Bruin (circ. 18,000); Weiss has made such an impact as editor of the paper that many call it the Daily Brian.

The general workers' strike sapped French industry of more than $100 million a day in output-and this at a time when it was already showing signs of stagnation. France's growth rate, which climbed above 7% in the early 1960s, last year ebbed...
Still more cause for concern is the likely inflationary impact of any settlement. The package negotiated by Premier Georges Pompidou-and rejected by most of the nation's striking workers -included an increase in the minimum wage from 440 to 600 an hour, a 10% general pay increase for all workers in private industry, a 40-hour week (v. an average 46.3 hours now), and improved social security medical benefits. That settlement would cost at least a total of $3 billion, but the strikers wanted more...
