...manner and place of Bishop Pike's death are symbolic of his life. His motives and goals were the burning light of curiosity, the examination of origins, the checking of premises, the questioning of absolutes. His personal dilemmas closely paralleled those of a troubled society: rigorous thinking v. religious orthodoxy, individual integrity v. institutional hypocrisy, compassion v. indifference...
While we believe that each of the faculties should determine the manner in which it will select its delegates to the Committee on University Governance, we wish to make it clear that students, as well as faculty, should be chosen to serve. We would urge that no faculty should be without student representation and also that, at least in the case of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, one non-tenured officer of instruction should be included...
...Hammond organ in dense fog. His performances had a consciously archaic quality about them. He satirized fustian while indulging in it. His senatorial solemnity was a species of burlesque. He belonged in a Chautauqua rather than a McLuhan age, although he became a master of television performing.

Unexpectedly bending and holding notes like a crooner, Dylan gave a lyric, wistful quality to the traditional Irish ballad, Wild...
Plea for Pity. Some of the most disputed figures are those on the growth of the nation's money supply. Washington's fundamental strategy for halting inflation is keyed to keeping that growth down. Federal Reserve statistics computed in the traditional manner show that the money supply, which is defined as cash in circulation plus demand deposits in commercial banks, has grown since the end of 1968 at a 1.5% annual rate, or 1% for the year so far. Under the prevailing theory that money supply controls economic growth, and ultimately price levels, that would seem gradual enough...
