...matter of troop withdrawals, Hanoi has privately agreed to President Nixon's insistence on simultaneous mutual pullouts. The North Vietnamese insist, however, on maintaining the fiction of victory. While continuing to demand unilateral U.S. withdrawal, they would simply negotiate their own private "unilateral" pull-out with South Viet Nam-which would just happen to correspond with the U.S. schedule. On the issue of interim authority in the South, the major stumbling block, the U.S. has given up its demand that elections for a permanent government be controlled by the present Saigon regime. That, to be sure, is still...
Taking On More. An outwardly mild-mannered man who likes to insist he is embarrassed by the publicity that he has received ("I don't like running a law office in the public press"), McLaren took his law degree at Yale in 1942. Since then he has spent most of his career specializing in antitrust cases at the Chicago firm of Chadwell, Keck, Kayser, Ruggles and McLaren. As head of the American Bar Association's Antitrust Law Section since 1967, he updated a 1955 report on antitrust activities, and was recommended by his colleagues as an unusually well...
...mature promise in the sexual patterns of young unmarrieds. She noted that growing numbers of young men and women approve semipermanent liaisons with a loved one that may or may not lead to marriage. For as long as these relationships last, she said, young people are now apt to insist more strictly than their elders upon "fidelity based on authentic emotion."

Such examples of professorial activism are increasing, but they are still exceptional. Many self-centered scholars still insist that they are hired to teach, not to run universities. Equally self-centered are some professors who do get involved, supporting whatever students demand as a way of enhancing their own popularity. Sometimes professors are even too passive to protect their own interests. Last week, for example, the academic senate at Berkeley met to vote on a resolution branding as "unnecessary, illegitimate and dangerous" a move by the University of California regents to review all tenure appointments. The resolution was approved unanimously...
...newfound success, McKuen has been called banal; he has also been called the best contemporary songwriter in the U.S. Some put him down as the greatest put-on since Tiny Tim; others insist that he is the only American chansonnier. If being a loner rules out success and commercialism, then McKuen is obviously a phony loner. If it means preferring solitude to stereotyped stardom, then he is at least a contented iconoclast. Or, as he says: "If I'm still alone by now it's by design/I only own myself, but all of me is mine...
