...destroy the universities because they do not want to be students. Because to be a student means to prepare oneself to do something more worthwhile in the future. The militant student's cry is for action now, not preparation for action later. In this real sense he is no longer a student at all, since he clearly rejects knowledge as a precondition of any meaningful activity. Truth, moreover, is no longer sought, but "revealed"; the concept for free speech and free thought is demonstrated as much in his actions as in his rods. Were he ever to capture the university...
...take a determined stand against any coercion and intimidation--though always not only open to, but inviting, reasonable, non-coercive discussion about how things could be improved (and much improvement is needed, as I suggested all along)--then I believe student rebellions could be so reduced as to no longer threaten the universities and because of the consequences, possibly even all of society...
...Longer Satisfied. From its inception, Malaysia has been haunted by racial divisions. By tacit agreement, the Federation's 4,300,000 Malays under Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman wielded political power. Economic power was largely in the hands of Malaysia's 3,400,000 Chinese.

Alarmed, the ultras began to discuss ways of retaining control. At a Malay post-election meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Chinese onlookers began to taunt those...
While scoops no longer have the urgency that they did in those days, many of the basic assumptions of journalism have changed very little. The most basic of them all is the primary loyalty of a newsman to his paper come hell or high water. A good newsman will let his grandmother burn if a hotter story turns up across town-or so the Hecht-MacArthur legend has it. Hildy Johnson (Bert Convy) is a classic of his breed, a red-hot superscooper. Suddenly he threatens to do the unthinkable. He tells the boys in the city room that...
