...between the forces of freedom and the godless totalitarian state, we rededicate ourselves to the principle that God's way is our way. It is [also fitting] that the site for our home [adjoins] one of the great universities of the world ... a constant reminder to us [to] insist upon man's right to knowledge and the free use thereof, the right to explore at will, to disagree with, and even to dissent from, the opinions of the majority. As evidence of such a purpose, we have carved on one of [the walls of the Bar Center] this...
...contention that exchange rules that restrict trading to Santos coffee only-about 10% of U.S. annual consumption-result in a narrow, rapidly fluctuating market.

John (The Life of the Spider) Crompton, a British expert, strikes a sprightly middle course. In a new book, Ways of the Ant (Houghton Mifflin; $3.50), he declares that ants, banded together in communities, have evolved emotions, "discipline and intelligence of a high order," even though the individual ant may be a nincompoop compared to a go-it-alone housefly. Some of Author Crompton...
Were he to postpone resignation much longer, a major Tory Party crisis would probably develop. His critics insist that too many domestic problems are unsettled because of the Old Man's inability to concentrate for long, and that he must step down decently in advance of the party's conference at Blackpool on Oct. 7. But their position is delicate: Sir Winston, who will be 80 on Nov. 30, has told intimates recently that he does not expect to live long without the stimulus of supreme responsibility. And so top Tories, though convinced that the time has come...
