...Rocard told audiences that France must discard its "model of American capitalism." He also criticized the Gaullist regime for failing to provide adequate schools and transport for satellite communities like Les Yvelines. Couve, gamely making the rounds of shopkeepers, stressed the need for De Gaulle's worker "participation" program. After the first round of voting, Rocard was barely in second place, 5,109 votes behind Couve. But in the runoff, centrist and leftist candidates, united only by their anti-Gaullism, lined up behind Rocard. He trounced Couve...
...contrast to Gorton's unquestioning support for American policy in Viet Nam, the Laborites made it clear that they would pull all 8,000 Aussie troops out of Viet Nam by June-and out of Southeast Asia reasonably soon. Labor Leader Gough Whitlam, 53, laid out a program of social reforms, including a free health scheme and free university education at a cost of $15.6 million a year, and an emergency school grant of $112 million to cover immediate needs.

Items: >At Vassar College, about 30 black women students seized part of the administration building at 3:20 a.m., locked themselves inside and vowed to "stop the school" until their demands for a black-studies program and separate black housing were met.

Hale. About 450 students...

For example, all members of the special review panel judged the Poseidon program, now that it is out of the basic-research stage, improper for a university-connected lab. But they split sharply over the I-lab's work on Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) aircraft. The majority defended it on the grounds that VTOLs could be used to speed civilian intercity transit and the project is "far from the production-prototype stage." By contrast, antiwar Guru Noam...
Through exchanges of men and ideas, the Weizmann Institute has played an important role in Israel's small but determined foreign-aid program. Such activities may expand when Dr. Albert Sabin, the developer of oral polio vaccine, takes over as president next January. Israel, he told a 25th anniversary banquet in New York last month, is "a pilot plant for the hundreds of millions of people living in ever greater poverty and misery" around the world...
