...best defense of the student deferment is that it is economical. America, the defenders of the 2-S insist, must protect its students to prevent the decimation of a generation of college students, such as occurred in Great Britain during World War I. The ranks of America's future leaders should not, they say, be thinned by war. A related argument is that most of the men in college deserve to be there, that the university in America is more the haven of the intellectually talented than a refuge for the rich...
...West Germany's tautest nerves by answering "Yes, in a way" to a question about whether the Kosygin-Wilson declaration to respect present borders in Europe meant that Britain had decided to recognize the Oder-Neisse line as Germany's eastern border. The West Germans insist, of course, that only a full-scale peace conference can decide Germany's eventual boundaries.

In this "breakdown" period, the student may rebel, laugh, refuse to talk, curse his tormentor-but it is a time, insist the teachers, in which he can almost unconsciously absorb the toughest problem of a new language, such as complex tenses. The day ends at 6 p.m., after a 20-minute review. Then the student takes home two more hours' worth of reading and composition assignments...
