...campus disorders have incited many state legislatures to consider repressive measures, some well intentioned, some reminiscent of the know-nothingism of Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. Clearly, the political university must be viewed with grave misgivings. Writing in The Public Interest, Robert A. Nisbet, a sociologist at the University of California, states the problem: "The university is the institution that is, by its delicate balance of function, authority and liberty, and its normal absence of power, the least able of all institutions to withstand the fury of revolutionary force and violence...
...organizations. Selling for 50? in the U.S. and two shillings in Britain, the paper has a current circulation of 25,000. Who reads it? Gervase Markham, a Le Monde director, says: "University professors, students, Francophiles, diplomats, government officials, businessmen, journalists, people in the art world.

...Station Manager Doug Finley found Rookie Reddin "so good" that he cried ("Well, maybe not cried, but I certainly lumped up"). Reddin was more straight-shooting.

He wandered through a set that seemed to have been plucked from a haunted harbor on San Francisco Bay. If the fog spewing out of the NBC special-effects machine looked at times as if it were going...
...people who were sick of slick styling. The books and records came flooding out-and sold. McKuen is hardly modest about it, but why should he be? He is deliberately vague about how much money he made last year ("Two million? Three million? Four million? I don't know"), but he claims proudly that he sold 2,000,000 albums in 1968. "That's more than Andy Williams, more than Tony Bennett." The set for his television special, he says, "was the biggest single set ever built for TV." As a result of the show, he "had offers...
