Thus Nixon took extraordinary pains in framing his inaugural address. After maintaining a low silhouette since the election, he was anxious to set the right note with which to begin the exercise of leadership. The process began several weeks ago with requests for drafts from three of his speech writers and idea men, William Safire, Patrick Buchanan and Raymond Price. Nixon himself had read every previous inaugural address, picking as his favorites Lincoln's second inaugural, both of Wilson's, F.D.R.'s first three, the Kennedy speech and?surprisingly?the baroque oratory of Democrat James K. Polk. A favorite Nixon...
...question of speaking at Faculty meetings, SFAC's position is the best that can be done so long as the Faculty makes the decisions and students are peripheral to the process. If any student in the gallery were allowed to speak at a meeting, the chairman of the meeting (Ford or President Pusey) would be limited because of time restrictions to recognizing one or two of the many enthusiastically raised hands. As a result, some student positions might be overrepresented while others might receive no voice at all. And most students who went intending to speak would trek home disappointed...

They had to be both patient and abstemious-qualities that, on examination, involve considerable intelligence. Chance has called this process "equilibration"-defined by Fox as "the ability to control and to time responses, to understand the consequences of one's actions." The foolish peripheral male obeyed only his hormones, invaded the dominant male's harem and was either killed or ostracized. The clever male restrained this impulse and intelligently awaited a fruitful opportunity to topple, replace or succeed the Sultan...
Animal studies can also be used to criticize existing social institutions. In all the lower primates, the education process is informal. Washburn has shown, for instance, that primate curiosity-which in man would be called basic research-comes into play when the animal is well-fed and secure; only then is he in the mood to gratify this intellectual need. Similarly, the juvenile ape, observing grownup behavior, mimes it in his games. For this pleasurable educational system, modern man has substituted the discipline of the classroom and the material rewards of grades, both of which, in Washburn's view...
