Clever Timing. In the days before the Czechoslovak crisis, Foreign Minister Willy Brandt held that West Germany should allow the Communists to operate as a legal party if it expected his new Ostpolitik to achieve its goal: establishing normal relations with the East bloc. But at that time, East German Boss Walter Ulbricht stonewalled Brandt's plan by ordering West German Reds to stay underground. Ulbricht feared that the West German diplomatic initiatives would isolate his unpopular satrapy; therefore he wanted to be able to denounce Bonn throughout Eastern Europe by pointing out the Federal Republic's "persecution...
...what I always was, 92 lbs." Whatever she weighs, the 19-year-old British model has made herself over so that she looks almost feminine. She has traded her body stocking and "all those flattening boyish things" for a real girl's bra, now wears more or less normal makeup instead of marking her eyes with heavy, horizontal pencil lines. She is letting her hair grow "as long as it'll go, down to me feet." In Manhattan to begin a promotion tour for Yardiev cosmetics, she just laughed when asked whether her fiancé-manager, Justin...

There was not the slightest reason to doubt that the normal academic procedures could produce a reasoned and fair-minded decision upon the merits. The disruptive potential of the IDA affiliation at Columbia, as at other universities, was that it enabled the large part of the intellectual community, especially students, to transfer to the campus their intense moral indignation against the Vietnam...
Third, the survival--literally the survival--of the free university depends upon the entire community's active rejection of disruptive demonstrations. Any sizeable group, left to pursue such tactics, can destroy either the university by repeatedly disrupting its normal activities or the university's freedom by compelling the authorities to invoke overwhelming force in order that its activities may continue. The only alternative is for the entire community to reject the tactics of physical disruption with such overwhelming moral disapproval as to make them self-defeating...
