Justice for the Mennonites The situation of the Mennonite immigrants in west Texas [April 30] is a stark example of the great gap that can exist between the law and justice in any nation. That these devout and industrious people can be deprived of their life savings and deported under the laws of the U.S. constitutes a tremendous travesty of justice...
...trickle, and some who venture forth may even be stranded, unable to find a gas station that will fill their tanks for the haul back home. Memorial Day could mark the point when the gasoline shortage of 1979 starts to hurt nationwide-and when Americans finally realize that the nation's growing addiction to undependable supplies of foreign oil can really jeopardize its prodigal way of life. And although President Carter asked for standby authority to impose gas rationing, Congress last week rejected his proposal. The vote, a stunning defeat for Carter, reflected all too accurately a national unwillingness...
Much will depend on whether the rest of the nation follows California in gas-buying habits. For the past three weeks, Golden State drivers have been in a kind of panic, scrambling to buy every last drop available. Lines as long as eight blocks have formed at those gas stations still open; motorists have waited three hours or more to fill up.

...effort to calm the frenzy, 13 California counties containing more than two-thirds of the state's drivers last week adopted an allocation plan-the first government-sponsored one in the nation in five years. The plan, made possible by legislation hastily drafted by Governor Jerry Brown, is that followed widely across the nation during the 1973-74 Arab oil embargo: drivers whose license plates end with an odd number can buy gas only on odd-numbered days, with even numbers only on even-numbered days. The plan will do nothing to increase supplies, or even to reduce consumption...
Once this revolution begins, Harvard, as a stockholder, will have the opportunity to urge corporations to stay in South Africa, to work with the new elites and to aid in the revitalization of the nation's economy and of its people. Instead, if President Bok's admonishment to the community is still followed, the Corporation will again place profits above morality. If returns on investment diminish severely, the Corporation's response will probably be exactly that being urged upon today: it will divest, or vote for resolutions calling for withdrawal. The University community may suddenly find that the sale...
