President Nixon promised Americans peace last Monday night: peace at maximum cost, peace with minimum justice. Nixon substituted dramatic posturing for national leadership in yet another attempt to support failing policies by lulling domestic dissent...
...former chairman of the Afro-American Student Union at the "B" School, I am quite familiar with both the attitudes and machinations of Hokanson and his conservative sidekicks who have served as the official non-voice of student body. They seem either unwilling or incapable of providing the leadership which an increasingly activist and even "liberal"-if one can use that word-M. B. A. student faction is demanding.

After hours, Aubrey said of himself: "I don't pretend to be any saint. If anyone wants to indict me for liking pretty girls, I guess I'm guilty." Partly because of his after-hours tastes, Aubrey was ousted from CBS in 1965. He moved...
