...many more smaller-scale actions. Abrams has found that forays by sub-battalion-size units -companies, platoons, even squads -can be mounted more quickly, more often and in more places. Such surprise sweeps also achieve better results. Thus the general's sting-ray tactics, designed to interdict the movement of North Vietnamese units and supplies, involve the same number of men but hundreds and sometimes thousands more of what Abrams prefers to call "initiatives" rather than "offensives."

But some of his supporters -without his cooperation-are thinking of organizing a recall movement* that could renew the ugly dispute. There was also concern that the disappointment would undercut the position of moderate black leaders and that it might even contribute to new disorders in the ghettos.

Dartmouth has incorporated experimental college courses in black American history, film criticism and the relationship between religion and science in its regular curriculum. St. Louis University gives credit for free university courses in the psychology of social work and the future of Catholic higher education. On its own hook, Brown University recently adopted some of the far-reaching reforms that free universities commonly aim to stimulate. Beginning next fall, a Brown student will be able to plan...
