Houphouët maintains tight press and radio censorship but is relatively gentle with his political opponents. When University of Abidjan students organized a march on his palace, protesting his conservative policies, Houphouët had the demonstrators taken to a military camp and put on a stiff regimen of calisthenics until they meekly asked to return to classes. Older opponents are summoned to Houphouët's plantation 170 miles from the capital and given a friendly, fatherly talk-and sometimes a government appointment or a case of Houphouët's favorite champagne...
...Walkouts. The rival National Education Association was flexing its muscles, too. The Pennsylvania State Education Association called on its 80,000 teachers to shut down the state's schools for one day this week and undertake a march on Harrisburg to demand higher pay. The Oklahoma Education Association scheduled a similar one-day walkout, urged its 27,000 teachers to attend a rally in Oklahoma City to apply pressure on the state legislature for more school money. In South Dakota, the state's Education Association declared a "sanctions alert" in a drive to increase salaries and legislative...
...wake of the American Bar Association's newly adopted free-press, fair-trial rules (TIME, March 1), a committee for the U.S. Judicial Conference last week announced its own proposed set of guidelines. Worried newsmen will be pleased.

But unlike the A.B.A., the Kaufman group is against barring newsmen from pretrial hearings and portions of the trial not heard by the jury. And it opposes the A.B.A. suggestion that...
...games in protest over the International Olympic Committee's decision to readmit South Africa. Banned in 1963 for its Apartheid policies-in sport as in everything else-South Africa has now promised to field a fully integrated team of black, white and Colored athletes who would live, eat, march and compete together. But South Africa's Olympics trials will still be segregated, and its neighbors are unsatisfied. Complaining that black South African Olympians would be merely "trained monkeys who would be shown at the fair," the 32-nation African Supreme Council for Sports met in Brazzaville and voted...
...needn't worry about the plot. The intrigue of Desire lies in what happens to what is happening. To get at the potential of Anastasia Vote, the ineffable potential of magic and mystery, Hunter destroys the narrative form, that apple-pie order march of elements we all know and love--elements like time, cause and effect, motivation (spell it out, son), resolution. Yes, they all break down. (Like the junkyard, like Anastasia--you've got it now, BREAKDOWN is the theme.) The threads of plot tempt you to join a surrealistic scavenger hunt. Don't. Don't fumble about...
