...seems improbable that current Harvard classes are precursors of another silent generation. They have been politicized over the past five years, and this politicization has wrought new biases. Some students have drifted leftward while others have abandoned the radical heritage of 1967-70. But very few have remained above the fray and as a group students will not likely resort to the political dumbfoundedness of a generation...
...Schmidt, whose youthful good looks help him to outdraw even Brandt in voter-preference polls, is a leading member of the party's right wing. With elections ahead, Brandt wanted to be certain that West German voters realized that Schiller's abrupt exodus did not mean a leftward swing by the Social Democrats away from the recent middle-of-the-road policies that helped bring them to power...
...change and the pressures increase. It is now highly likely that after all the bloodshed of the primaries, no one will go to Miami Beach with a lock on the nomination. If so, it will be a fascinating week in July. A deadlock would probably eliminate McGovern as too leftward and experimental, even though that might provoke a fourth-party rebellion.

When Italian police three years ago sought him for questioning about his open advocacy of violence, Feltrinelli went into exile in Austria-though he managed to slip in and out of Italy from time...
...have a good deal in common. They are California's Paul ("Pete") McCloskey, 44, a Kennedy-esque Marine Reserve colonel who wants the U.S. out of Viet Nam at once, and Ohio's John Ashbrook, 43, a deep-dyed conservative who deplores Nixon's "leftward drift" on welfare, China, Keynesian deficits and in the U.S.-Soviet armaments race. Neither, however, has made much impression on the New Hampshire granite. Nixon's edge has dropped from 79% in October to 69% today in a state public television poll; McCloskey rates only 12%, Ashbrook...
