Since this is the season for TV reruns, it is perhaps fitting that the first McCarthy-Kennedy meeting left any reasonably informed citizen with the feeling that he had seen that segment somewhere before. And that he had seen a lot of better panel shows. Not an inch of new ground was broken, not a refreshing new idea voiced. Part of the problem, certainly, was the format, which called for three ABC newsmen sitting around a table in San Francisco's KGO-TV studios to pose questions, but inhibited direct dialogue between the Senators. McCarthy was particularly critical. "This...
...work stoppages. But as the movement grew, it acquired the support of students, churchmen, and political groups ranging from liberal Monarchists to the Communist Party . Non- violence remains its credo, but the threat of more audacious and aggressive action is always there. Some plant executives leaving the factory parking lot at day's end now prudently check to be sure that their brake-fluid lines have not been cut or their tires slashed. On May Day, the Workers' Commissions turned out such a huge crowd of marchers that the government nervously called full "red alert" and positioned police...
...photo jets streak over North Viet Nam and Laos, filming huge patches- and tiny pockets- of jungled land, searching for the scantest signs of activity by Communist forces.

A few do course work; but most took automatic "p's" for passing. Most wait. Politics has replaced academics as the institutionalized rationale for living at Columbia this month. The huge apathetic majority has been forced to take a side. But politics does not give a student much to do unless he sit-ins or counter-demonstrates. As a result there is constant political potential for a large demonstration...
...least once this year, the lbis was treated as ignominiously as a common pigeon, stolen from the 'Poonies only to be casually reclaimed in broad daylight, without a single shot being fired, as it sat, unguarded, in the bourgeois sedan in a Plympton Street parking lot. Though amazingly few remember it, there was a time, not long ago, when lives hung on such events and kidnappings, international politics, and bloody threats would be in the air when the lbis flapped its wings...
