...deposed by the military in 1966: "It is a concrete diagnosis, but not a cure. The situation is more serious than is expressed by Nixon." Brazilian Economist Roberto Campos was pleased with Nixon's approach, which was less condescending than past U.S. attitudes. "The U.S. today is much less certain that it understands the realities of life in Latin America," said Campos. "That is a healthy recognition." More characteristic, however, was the complaint aired by the Chilean paper Clarin, which claimed that "frustration was the sentiment after the speech...
Even though she has no taste for the stuff herself, as far as Margaret Mead is concerned, puffing on pot is not a dangerous pastime. In Washington to testify before a Senate subcommittee studying drug abuse, the aging (67) but very much tuned-in anthropologist asserted that marijuana is less toxic than tobacco and milder than booze. What is harmful, she said, is the law banning the drug. As she put it: "There is the adult with a cocktail in one hand and a cigarette in the other telling the child. 'You cannot.'

The undergraduate senate, which is the body most representative of student opinion, also endorsed Johnson's stand. Nevertheless, the special labs are taking no chances. Stout screens now cover the windows of the Instrumentation lab, and two-by-fours are on hand...
...only one important respect has the institute failed to "make miracles." Except for a few quiet, unpublicized contacts, it has been unable to arrange any cooperation with Arab scientists. As much in sadness as in fear, the institute is now building bomb shelters on its flower-filled campus. Yet like most Israelis, the institute's staff is unflaggingly optimistic. Not too many centuries ago, Arab and Jewish scholars kept scientific learning alive in the Middle Ages. Says Mathematician Gillis: "We look forward to the renewal of that cooperation...
