...S.D.S. of a "national conspiracy" to destroy the "peace and dignity of the academic communities." At the Republican Governors conference in Lexington, Ky., House Minority Leader Gerald Ford raised the threat of economic penalties for universities that did not keep order. "If the institutions are not used for the prime purpose of giving higher education," he said, "the taxpayers as a whole will revolt against expenditures-tax monies-being used for higher education...
...modern revolution and free speech had, through the Gaullists' abuse of their power over the state-owned radio and television networks, one of the free world's most tightly controlled public information centers.
