Hopefully, Harvard will not allow itself to degenerate into an intellectual factory capable of nothing more than spewing out a myriad of narrow-minded technicians and pedants. Hopefully, the scholars who swarm into and out smoked-filled rooms to discuss the Doty Report will not fail to notice the inscription which ornaments the backs of their little black chairs--Veritas...
...charter is hardly apt to end South Viet Nam's myriad uncertainties. Ostensibly it provides for replacing Khanh, who was overthrown by riots two months ago but has stayed on, supposedly as caretaker.

Evidently planning on retaining military say-so by making himself commander in chief, Khanh tried to persuade the 17-member council, made up entirely of civilians, to grant the army a "position of honor," exempting it from government jurisdiction.

This decision brought Gideon a new trial (and his acquittal) and opened the way for new trials for a myriad of other Gideons. And future Gideons can be grateful. Only recently, however, is Lewis' book beginning to get the widespread general readership the lawyers and the critics agree it deserves...

Fun-loving citizens fill dozens of giant cabarets, one of which offers 800 hostesses to entertain customers, or ogle the sights from a 338-ft. observation tower, the symbol of the city's growth. Osaka's myriad restaurants are noted for their epicurean meals-and it is just as well. The new trains from Tokyo carry buffet stalls but no dining car. Reason: the railway claims that its trains go too fast to leave time for full-course dinners...
