Then Du Plessis abruptly broke off. "What I have just said lays me open to be tried for treason. Advocacy of any change in South Africa is treason." The words sounded strange coming from a quiet 23 year-old, sitting in the sun-lit living room of the Winthrop House guest suite...
Leaders who manage to quiet the turbulent French political scene usually stay around to enjoy the calm. The two Napoleons lasted quite a while, as did Louis XIV. Charles DeGaulle, the present president of the French, shows no signs of folding early. Elected to a seven-year term in 1958, the General reportedly intends to resign shortly to seek immediate re-election. Should de Gaulle be successful at the polls again, his term would run roughly until 1970--a total tenure of twelve years. In a country whose people can scarcely remember a chief of state who lasted twelve months...
McDonald, a thin, quiet man who reached his job via Annapolis, naval aviation, carrier service and top European commands, is painfully aware of the Navy's problems, but feels he can weather the storm.

As Professor Galbraith has it, "rules need only reflect the special requirements of the academic community--the quiet, good order and opportunity for undisturbed sleep that facilitate reflection and study. No effort need be made or should be made to protect indivividuals from the consequences of their own errors, indiscretions or passion." Perhaps when the College Deans recognize, in their practice if not their preachments, that such...
