...newspaper survive when its two publishers are in basic disagreement? That is the question facing the Manhattan Tribune, a weekly tabloid just started in New York. William Haddad, a member of the New York City School Board, and Roy Innis, National Director of CORE, are not only of different color-Haddad is white, Innis black-but also hold rival views on integration. Haddad is for it, Innis against. Still, the editors believe that by airing disagreements in print they can help start a dialogue between increasingly embittered white and black communities...
...ways too obscure or subtle to analyze, this great work, written in 1922, vibrated like a tuning fork to the pitch of high-strung post-World War I survivors. They were the generation who responded with masochistic enthusiasm to the question, "Who would have thought Death had undone so many?" and who liked to be told elsewhere that they were "hollow men, the stuffed men, headpiece filled with straw...

Harvard's investment policies have always been shrewd, and four times in the last 12 years the investment funds have had a 10 per cent capital increase. The income helps the Faculty; the important question, however, seems to be whether keeping the investment funds is a legitimate reason to boost tuition once more...
...could get tickets for a reasonable price. But then again, we have a game against Dartmouth, so maybe I'll stay here. I rate this game a toss-up. One Harvard problem will be when Yale isolates Hill on only one defender. Then it's just a question of who jumps higher, and Hill always wins. I'm pretty sure Yale will get at least a couple of touchdowns. The Elis will be cocky,, but Harvard will be looser. Should be worth the $6 admission price...
