...Faculty, which a decade before might have banned the new publication outright, now held itself to a mild expression of outrage. The Magenta, on its part, largely observed the proper amenities in editorials, although it stood firm to a policy of identifying every editorial as the opinion of all the editors, not just the author. This policy was particularly useful, the Fiftieth Anniversary Book relates, when the Faculty came round looking for the man who had referred to one of their number as "a little tin god on wheels...
President Nixon's choice as boss of Phase III is anything but a mild-mannered Mr. Chips. As dean of Harvard's 2,000-member faculty of arts and sciences, Dunlop customarily opened meetings by saying, "Let's get it all on the table." For 35 years Dunlop, who is now 58, has spent at least one day a week in Washington in Government service. He has endured countless mediation sessions and has written seven books on labor-management problems. The co-author of his latest book, Labor and the American Community, is his close friend Derek...
...tests. Dr. Karl Rickels and Peter Hesbacher report in the A.M.A. Journal that Compoz, one of the nation's largest-selling nonprescription daytime sedatives, is no more effective than a placebo in relieving "simple nervous tension."

The message was clear: Hanoi's sponsors want a settlement...
...Mild Joke. Press Critic Ben Bagdikian recently focused attention on the paper when he ranked the Eagle (along with the New York Times and Paris' Le Monde) as one of the world's three "great newspapers" (TIME, Aug. 28). Washington Post Editorial Writer Stephen Rosenfeld, an ex-Eagle staffer, thinks that Bagdikian was "charmed as an outsider to discover that there exists in the Berkshires a paper that appeals to the New York Times reader." Eagle Managing Editor Kingsley ("Rex") Fall says: "We're proud of what we do, and we hope we're getting better...
