...save-the-bay movement came to a head when a corporation called West-bay Community Associates announced plans to develop a residential-commercial-recreational complex along 27 miles of presently submerged bayshore south of San Francisco. Three days later, the state's Bay Conservation and Development Commission released another plan that was a clean-cut challenge to the Westbay proposal. The only bay filling that might henceforth be justified, it said, would be for projects "providing substantial public benefits" that could not be gained otherwise-port terminals, airport extensions and "close-to-home" recreation facilities like marinas, beaches, parks...
Whether that ominous prediction comes true depends largely on how well Charles de Gaulle can cope with the dual goals of reviving the economy while undertaking social and political reforms. In a television interview three weeks ago, De Gaulle declared that his reform plan would be a middle way between Communism and Capitalism. He called it "participation." Two of the main features are to give students more say in the universities and to expand the powers of the already established comités d'entreprise-the workers' councils-into areas of managerial responsibility in France's industries...
...Conservatives, on the other hand, went down from 94 to 72 seats, lost some of their best parliamentary leaders and emerged as a party whose influence is now almost solely in rural areas.

...months ago. Stud, fairly securely nestled in the Khe Sui Soi River valley and now being fortified by U.S. Seabees, has a good airstrip. Unlike Khe Sanh, it is outside the 17-mile reach of North Vietnamese artillery dug into the mountains across the Laotian border. Under the new plan, Marines equipped with borrowed helicopters will try to move fast and throw cordons around North Vietnamese in filtrating the area. They will also substitute aggressive reconnaissance patrols for the blocking role formerly held by Khe Sanh and the hill outposts that surrounded it, which are now also being abandoned...
...more rigidly run than the academic year is: it has strict rules against men visiting girls' rooms and vice versa, although this year for the first time visitors will be permitted in certain common rooms. Women in dorms have early curfews. There is a social director to plan and sponsor group activities, something which wouldn't make sense for the fragmented Harvard community during the year. Many of these changes are necessary because of the nature of a summer school. In any case, they make Harvard a different place during the summer...
