THOUGH water cannon and police truncheons kept last week's demonstrations in Czechoslovakia under control, mere force is not likely to suppress other aftereffects of last year's invasion. Reflecting on the developments of the past twelve months, TIME Correspondent, Jerrold Schecter reports from Moscow: "The invasion of Czechoslovakia is now regarded as an overt admission of the inability of the Soviet leadership to accept and deal with political and economic change in the Communist world. Though most Soviet citizens accept the official explanation that counterrevolution and the threat of West German aggression required the intervention in Czechoslovakia...
Within the Soviet Union, the invasion produced intense disaffection, particularly among intellectuals. For the first time in Soviet history, groups of dissident intellectuals publicly defied the regime in protest. "The secret police have really been shaken by what has happened in the past year," says Russian Author Anatoly Kuznetsov, who last month defected to the West. Kuznetsov may be exaggerating somewhat. But it is no exaggeration to say that the Kremlin has reacted harshly, tightening police controls, jailing some intellectuals and firing others from important posts on journals and newspapers...
Convinced that classical socialism is the answer to India's manifold economic problems, Indira over the past two years has grown increasingly impatient with the old guard's conservative approach. Last month the quarrel flared into the open.

For all her talk of socialism, she has offered few concrete plans, and her political victories of the past months have preserved her power at the price of further wrenching apart the Congress Party. Congress has ruled for 22 years, but the national elections of 1967 sharply reduced its once-overwhelming majority in Parliament. For millions of Indians, the stability ensured by Congress Party rule no longer outweighs the drift, indecisiveness, lack of discipline, and corruption that go with it. If the minority parties-right and left -continue to gain...
...survived all the crises and name-calling, and received high marks for his composure. So it was only sensible that Columbia University should finally turn for its 15th president to Andrew Cordier, who has been acting in that capacity for the past year. Cordier stepped loyally into the breach-but let the university know of his own desires. At 68, the onetime diplomat and former U.N. undersecretary hopes to return to his old post as dean of the School of International Affairs. He agreed to the presidency with the proviso: "For one year or until a new president...
