...Professor Michael Severn: "The mood is sullen. Students are not happy. They have had a taste of influence and power and they have not accomplished much." Like other campus elders, Severn fears that next year could be worse-and that new violence could invite a "real crackdown." Father Edwin Quain, acting president of Georgetown University in Washington, notes that "the freshmen are much more radical than the seniors, and I'm told that the high school students coming up are even more...
Peter Lubin indicates that he's a precocious graduate student in Comparative Literature by his parody of the "fictions" of Jorge Luis Borges. His title, "A Vindication of Ephraim Blueprint," echoes Borges' "An Examination of Herbert Quain." Lubin comes close to sustaining the self-conscious tone of pseudo-pedantry which gives Borges' work its peculiar charm. But the difficulty of parodying a parodist is evident in the moments when the piece descends into nonsense and uncomfortable undergraduate humor. Although seemingly sympathetic, the parody uses the penetrating method of Borges' own arcane inventiveness to become the closest thing to unfavorable comment...

A senior partner in Quain & Ramstad was the state medical society's legislative watchdog. When he retired, he put the arm on Larson. "I volunteered by means of appointment," says Larson. In the Bismarck statehouse, Dr. Larson learned the bitter way about politics: the M.D.s took a crushing defeat when they tried to keep out osteopaths and chiropractors by legislation...
...Larson sounded rigidly traditional in his attacks on King-Anderson last week, he is actually quite flexible on other issues in the provision of medical care. As a group practitioner, he naturally favors group practice, and Quain & Ramstad makes no bones about the fact that it pays salaries to 32 of its doctors, though it charges patients on a fee-for-service basis. Moreover, Dr. Larson believes that "if we're going to keep Government out of the practice of medicine, we're going to have to provide more coverage through prepayment plans-and, if possible, at lower...
