...article by your Mr. Alexander in the Freshman Registration Issue, while purporting to bid the class of '72 "Hello! Hello!," seemed, rather than a greeting, to be a potent mixture of good and bad rhetoric, of truth and error, of hope and despair, of, if you will, "Hello!" and "Goodbye!" A partial antidote is here offered...
...flags and spit on the Stars and Stripes that Dad fought for in World War II? In fact, blacks are by far the most frequent victims of black criminals, and there is no real political answer to youthful excess. Nonetheless, racial fear and generational disapprobation-on both sides-are potent forces in the politics of resentment. This is so not only among blue-collar workers. More and more, the clash is over fundamental value systems rather than public policy. The New Conservatism has not sprung full-blown from one social-economic group in 1968. It has been growing for years...
Jean Louis Barrault is one of the towering figures of the French stage. A brilliant mime and tragedian, he has also been a potent instigator of dramatic innovation as director of the Théâtre de France, giving world premières of works by such playwrights as Beckett, lonesco and Genet.

...drug was never licensed for sale in the U.S., so American victims of thalidomide number fewer than 20. Great Britain, however, has more than 1,000 thalidomide babies. In West Germany, where Chemie Grünenthal GMBH first introduced thalidomide as a magically potent tranquilizer and sleeping pill, there are at least 3,184 surviving thalidomide-deformed children, while an equal number have died. In addition, some 5,000 adults are believed to have suffered permanent injury, a generalized neuritis that is invariably painful and sometimes disabling...
Genetics may open the door to still more macabre methods of destruction. In The Biological Time Bomb (World; $5.50), published last week, British Science Writer Gordon Rattray Taylor raises the specter of genetic warfare-one nation permanently weakening the people of another by infecting them with potent lab-made viruses carrying damaging hereditary material. Experiments have already shown that viral infections can make fruit flies fatally sensitive to such ordinary substances as carbon dioxide. M.I.T. Bacteriologist Salvador Luria speculates that some day a diabolical individual may be able to concoct a virus that renders men equally susceptible to specific substances...
