Simplistic Judgment. Such friction might be better tolerated if this were not a time of profound frustration for Britain. Continuing sterling crises, the harshest austerity budget ever, constantly shrinking power abroad, combined with an unpopular and unresponsive government at home-all help to create a mood of anxiety. Powell has given the frustrated British a scapegoat for their rage: "the colored." He predicts that within a generation "we shall have succeeded in reproducing 'in England's green and pleasant land' the haunting tragedy of the United States."

...folks are still buying. After six years as Johnny Carson's No. 2 man on NBC's Tonight Show, he ranks as TV's most effective salesman since the heyday of Arthur Godfrey.

...disappointment and chagrin faculty members might feel when impressionable, idealistic young Americans within their sphere of influence are observed to throw away their citizenship and ruin their lives by fleeing the country to avoid the draft. Harvard suffered some very bad national publicity--completely unwarranted and undeserved in my judgment--a few months ago when it was made to appear that a majority of Harvard men would take the draft laws into their own hands. Equally disturbing must be the knowledge that there are brilliant young Harvard men with God-given leadership abilities who seem content to waste two years...
