...presidential crime commission offered a partial solution to overworked police forces: Split up the policeman's job three different ways. Under this plan, a "community service officer," often a youth from the ghetto, would perform minor investigative chores, rescue cats, and keep in touch with combustible young people. A police officer, one step higher, would control traffic, hold back crowds at parades, and investigate more serious crimes. A police agent, the best-trained, best-educated man on the ladder, would patrol high-crime areas, respond to delicate racial situations, and take care of tense confrontations...

A new, sinister note crept into the charges: "Conspiracy to armed rebellion." The secret police claimed to have smashed an underground terrorist network, extending to arrests of related groups in Sverdlovsk and several towns...
...your Mr. Alexander in the Freshman Registration Issue, while purporting to bid the class of '72 "Hello! Hello!," seemed, rather than a greeting, to be a potent mixture of good and bad rhetoric, of truth and error, of hope and despair, of, if you will, "Hello!" and "Goodbye!" A partial antidote is here offered...
