...same pattern has emerged in 1969. At the recent N.C.A.A. championships in Nashville, Tenn., an unknown 440-yd. runner named Curtis Mills streaked across the tape in 44.7 sec., .1 sec. under the two-year-old world mark. The first black trackman in the history of Texas A. & M., Mills whipped the Olympics' top two quarter-milers -Lee Evans and Larry James. Villanova's Marty Liquori, who finished dead last in the 1,500-meter finals in the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, defeated World Record Holder Jim Ryun after nine tries in the mile...
None held your eye for long, each offsets another. Different types of pieces push the spectator in many directors, questioning, threatening, challenging the eye to understand flashing pink strokes of light or a black and white kalidescopic pattern...
After five years of urban disturbances, the U.S. has become inured to grim box scores: the number of people killed, injured and arrested, the dollars lost from looting and arson. Recently, however, there has been a shift toward a different pattern of violence. The old-style, spontaneous and omnidirectional ghetto riots-such as those in Watts, Detroit and Newark-have been declining since 1967.

Mystic Murderer. The pattern began to crystallize last summer, when Cleveland police were lured into an ambush led by Fred (Ahmed) Evans, a black mystic. Last month he was sentenced to death for the murder of three policemen and one civilian killed in the gunfight. In recent weeks, there have been shooting incidents involving police and snipers in Cairo, Ill., Portland, Ore., and Sacramento, Calif. Police were attacked by black snipers outside a Detroit church this spring and at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. In Chicago, two white policemen were fired on after another cop shot a black...
...student union of Helsinki's Technical University set the pattern for student capitalism after World War II. It built dormitories, even using bricks salvaged from the rubble of the Soviet embassy, which had been hit by Russian bombers at the outset of the Russo-Finnish Winter War. Student "commandos" raised money by persuading engineering executives and 6,000 alumni to donate. Today, the union's dorms and cafeterias do a $1,700,000-a-year business and provide temporary jobs for scores of students. Together, the three student unions have a fulltime payroll of 1,000, including...
