...succeeds in doing the impossible and leaves, though most return and graduate. "The fierce competition of high school doesn't exist here," said a freshman advisor in a private conversation recently. One freshman put it another way. "I could figure out what activities would make me both admired and popular in high school, and I had the ability to succeed in those activities, but it's completely different at Harvard. There are too many activities with too many really talented people to give a status label to anything. You learn to do what you really want...

Unchallenged Thesis. The postponement, of course, did nothing to halt his unofficial trial by popular opinion. Kennedy foresaw that his petition for delay would prompt talk about a "Kennedy power play" and "wealth and influence thwarting justice." But his lawyers increasingly feared that the inquest, under Judge Boyle's terms, could take on some aspects of a kangaroo court. Boyle opened the inquest to 103 reporters and denied that the hearing represented an accusatory proceeding. Hence, ruled Boyle, lawyers for the witnesses-including Kennedy and the others who attended the Chappaquiddick cookout-had no right to cross-examine...

...Vladimir, a scenic three-hour journey by car from Moscow, is one of the most popular tourist sights. An important trading center on the Volga River routes in medieval times, Vladimir was named for the prince of Kiev who brought Christianity to Russia in A.D. 988. His emissaries, the story goes, were so taken by the beauty of the Byzantine liturgy and Constantinople's churches that they urged the prince to adopt that mode of Christianity. Vladimir's churches reflect the Russian efforts to carry on the Byzantine architectural tradition. The most spectacular is the Cathedral...

Political Trouble. The Administration's stand will unquestionably be popular with businessmen, but it guarantees political trouble. Several members of the Senate Finance Committee pounced on Kennedy's proposals. "You've taken $1.7 billion from the average forgotten American and given it to the corporations," complained Indiana Democrat Vance Hartke. Though some of the Administration's proposals-notably its defense of investment incentives-may make good economic sense, many of them are likely to be doomed by their lack of popular appeal...
