...sorts of poverty and teaching jobs. Put simply, there seems to be little ahead beyond more of the same. In response, students here and elsewhere are said to be burrowing back into their private lives: no one is interested in joining the Peace Corps now, and Ralph Nader is said to have trouble finding help. Students seem to be joining a lemming-like rush to law school or medical school, hoping to emerge eventually with a bright badge of professionalism to ward off the encroachments of a colder world...
...donations were never mentioned at Nixon's meetings with milk officials does not seem conclusive. Sophisticated lobbyists rarely couple a donation openly with a requested favor; the money is expected to speak for itself. Yet even this contention by Nixon was challenged last week by attorneys for Ralph Nader, who is suing the Administration for basing the support hike on political grounds.

Even given the highly unlikely return of abundant fuel, the U.S. could not indefinitely tolerate or afford the poisonous pollution, cost, congestion, racket and uglification of a transportation system...
...same time that the doctors were receiving funding support for their project, they also began to face determined opposition. A psychiatrist, Peter Broggin, began a one-man campaign against psychosurgery in 1971. Ralph Nader's raiders began to monitor the project. As the national controversy increased, Dr. David Allen at Boston City Hospital set up a review committee in September 1972 composed of professionals in many fields which acted as an advocate for the patient, ensuring that he had full knowledge and was giving full consent. State Senator Chester Atkins (D-Concord) introduced a bill into the legislature December...
