...Micronesian, your article "Remembering an Adopted Cousin" [May 23] is one of the best things that has happened to Micronesia since 1947, when the United Nations handed Micronesia over to the U.S. under a trusteeship arrangement. The U.S.'s negligence towards the "adopted cousin" is portrayed in Willard Price's America's Paradise Lost...
...venality. At Charles, there is free champagne; at the Steer Palace, a weekend "family plan" luncheon at which parents with children get the first child's meal free (even if it is a $6 sirloin steak), the second's for $1 and all others' for half price. Dinner, dancing and "all the drinks you can drink" for $9.95 is the bill of fare at the Riverboat in the Empire State Building; the Downbeat on Lexington Avenue offers a similar package for $1 less, with jazz instead of dancing...

Prices received by farmers for vegetables jumped 25%, while the dairy product index exceeded that...
...bust as from that of the seizure. In the wake of these shocks, what put the place together again and made it move forward was a generalized and passionate display of the good uses of reason: colloquia, meetings, discussion, negotiations, most of which proved constructive and orderly. Surely the price paid by the University--animosities, divisions, sanctions, fatigue, the genuine suffering inflicted by the events on so many, and the diversion of energy from the essential functions of the University--proves that disruptive tactics cannot become a recurrent method of government or progress. Surely, the members of this community...
