...winter the charges and counter-charges flew back and forth, with the group repeatedly calling for Crooks's ouster, until in February the Council of Deans appointed an eight-member committed to oversee the program. The committee met with various groups interested in the program, including the poor whites and Freedberg. This year there will be ten poor whites in the program--if the admissions committee's guesswork as to the race of applicants is correct--and the med school group seems to have calmed down. Now a Chicano group is mad at the program and has written a letter...
Servan-Schreiber's ouster did not surprise many Frenchmen. Although sometimes unpredictable on other issues, he has been vehemently consistent in opposing not only nuclear testing but France's expensive force de frappe as well. Last year he went to the Pacific to demonstrate against France's atmospheric testing of nuclear devices.

Although an important record of the past, the former Soviet leader's freewheeling reminiscences bear directly on many contemporary issues. He discusses hitherto unknown incidents that contributed to the present Moscow-Peking conflict. He provides insights into the Soviet missile buildup, and the mutual suspicions that prevented any Russian-U.S. arms limitations accord. Khrushchev also presents typically blunt assessments of contemporary world political figures he dealt with...
...Graduate School of Design program. The Faculty took away the Ph.D. program three years ago, when the planning department of the GSD was in the middle of a controversy that led to the firing of Chester W. Hartman '57, assistant professor of City Planning, and repeated calls for the ouster of GSD Dean Maurice D. Kilbridge...
