...Russians are frustrated by their inability to exchange some of the benefits they bestow for real political power. Recognizing the Islamic aversion to Communism, they are forced to ignore the local Communist parties, which are outlawed in most Arab countries, and deal with governments that often prove recalcitrant. The Russians have been unable to influence the Syrians toward moderation, and Nasser refuses their advice as often as he takes it. The deeper their penetration becomes, the more they are bound to be caught up in the bitter quarrels and mutual hatreds that rack the Middle East. Moreover, they know full...
Unbeatable Lead. Gorton came almost from nowhere to land his nation's top job. An orange plantation owner in Victoria, he entered politics in 1946, joined the Country Party, and was elected to the local council in Victoria. In 1949, he switched to the Liberal Party and won a seat in the federal Senate. Since then, he has served only in junior ministerial slots in Australia's Liberal-Country Party coalition, which has ruled the country since 1949; he headed up the navy, interior and works ministries, and at Holt's death was Minister of Science...

Students would sit on the key committees within departments to help shape policy and would also help evaluate the teaching of their professors. These local "constituencies" would then feed into a more representative-and entirely reorganized-student government and faculty academic senate...
...same powers which can discriminate against civil rights workers can and have been used against antiwar activists. Legally, those powers are hard to fight. Appeal can only be made to higher SSS boards, and judicial review of local board action is "so limited as to be non-existent," says the ACLU in their publication Civil Liberties. To exhaust the legal possibilities within the SSS, which is the only way to receive a court hearing, one must refuse induction and thereby be subject to prosecution...
