Back in Kampala, whose downtown area was badly torn up in the spree of looting that followed Big Daddy's departure, life returned to a semblance of normality. Electric power and water were restored. The first issue of a new paper, the Uganda Times, was published, and government employees began going back to their desks. One of the new government's first jobs: collecting and burying the hundreds of bodies that littered the streets. Pledged to restore democratic freedoms, the provisional government announced that voting for local officials in the Kampala area would begin almost immediately-the first...
...also point to the case of Pennsylvania's Grove City College, a small, religiously oriented school that, on principle, has never taken a penny in federal aid. The Government sent Grove City a letter calling it a "recipient" of federal aid, and requested school officials to sign a paper assuring the school's compliance with provisions of Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments (requiring equal opportunity for women).

...small newspaper likes nothing better than a national story in its own backyard. Last week at the Point Reyes (Calif.) Light (circ. 2,700), the paper's own backyard was a national story.

Armed with Stanford journalism degrees and experience...

It is this new consciousness of the need for social change that must be somehow directed. Somewhere between the poles of South Africa and toilet paper (topics treated with equal weight in a recent Assembly Poll) lie issues directly relevant to the needs of this community. Not until activist students have the courage to approach less glamorous and idealistic, but equally important problems, will they be taken seriously by their fellow students, by the administration...
...this; Hackman pain-stakingly and convincingly becomes a man who just can't handle the perversity and technical inhumanity of his occupation, and who begins to fathom the horror of people like him turning around and persecuting people like him. Dramatically, its suspense becomes brilliantly tense (in the sanitary paper wrapped around the motel toilet seat scene, for example). A good film, more disturbing the second time around...
