...completed by June 1972, when this year's class graduates, and construction is expected to cost some $40 million over 3 or 4 years. The college hopes, if funds allow, to be able to build another branch as part of a "new town" in Fort Lincoln Park in the Northeast ghetto. The main site is to be in Mount Vernon Square, which is in the middle of a predominately black district in downtown Washington...
From the Desert of Death in the sunblasted south to the 18,000-ft.-high Wakhan Valley in the far northeast, the first blossoms of modernity have finally begun to sprout in the rugged kingdom of Afghanistan. So have the weeds. After 2,500 years of inertia, a startling 13-year spurt of modernization has made itself felt across much of the Texas-sized nation. The beginnings of progress have also brought new problems, political and economic. As a result, Afghanistan's course seems far less clear today than it did a few years...
...holler with the best of them. But what happened last week was the wildest thing in Sultan's history since the 1884 visit of the Black Diamond Minstrel Company.

Immediately after the encyclical was issued, Cardinal O'Boyle called upon his priests "to follow without equivocation, ambiguity or simulation the teaching of the church on this matter." In answer, the 52 priests announced their endorsement of a statement originated by theologians from Catholic University of America holding that spouses may properly decide...
...L.B.J., as its inmates call the Long Binh Jail, is like army stockades everywhere: not much worse than Stateside prisons, or more uncomfortable than the ordinary barracks of South Viet Nam. Located in the middle of the Army's main supply and administration center twelve miles northeast of Saigon, it houses 700 prisoners in a barbed-wire compound built for 400. Their crimes range from smoking pot or going AWOL to theft and murder, and as an M.P. staff officer puts it, the prisoners create "every kind of problem that you find in a civilian prison...
