...past for criticizing Soviet policies. In recent years, he has also kept up a poetic and suitably critical commentary on the U.S. scene. Last week in Pravda, Yevtushenko published a 111-line poem to Allison Krause, one of the four students killed by National Guard gunfire at Kent State University. His theme was a gesture reportedly made by Allison, 19, on the day before her death. She put a flower in the muzzle of a Guardsman's rifle and said: "Flowers are better than bullets."

...Alabama, which has long been a bastion of idolized athletes and lionized coaches, pretty coeds, fervent fraternity men and racism. Today, Alabama is aroused−and politicized. An indication of the new mood came on May 6, when a candlelight service was held for the students slain at Kent State. Afterward, there was a march on the mansion of President F. David Mathews, where students demanded a number of parochial changes (self-regulation on hours for women, better food and such).
