...whole thing seems to be reduceable to a neat pattern. Faculty members object to a frustrating war, and they are looking for an acceptable, and still powerful, form of protest. They turn, therefore, to rank-in-class--which they consider harmful to the academic experience. Rank-in-class is a legitimate educational weapon for a larger, intellectual attack...
...ignoring the rank-in-class issue and focusing on 2-S, the Harvard Faculty deviated from this pattern. It got bogged down in a jurisdictional dispute, and ended by rejecting a proposal that smacked too much of political protest and not enough of academic reform...
...Business School acquired last year two new small, and one completely remodelled building. Following a pattern set in the School's original buildings, they were named for Secretaries of the Treasury--this time, because of the interest and help of friends, for the recent Secretaries, Douglas Dillon, George Humphrey, and Robert Anderson.

Coursing the Jungles. That interest is already threatened by the Red insurgency in the northeast. The pattern of violence-assassination of rural officials, propaganda meetings held at gunpoint-resembles Viet Nam a decade ago.

When the leading U.S. copper companies, which had also been pressured into rolling back price hikes in 1965, announced 2?-a-lb. increases two weeks ago, Washington merely grumbled. Thus encouraged, nine steelmakers last week followed Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp.'s earlier lead in raising prices on tubular products by averages of 2.5% to 3%. At the same time, the price of molybdenum, an alloy agent used in strengthening steel, was raised 3.7% by two leading producers...
