...Board of Regents, fresh from mint juleps at San Francisco's Bohemian and Pacific Union Clubs, with at least 10 millionaires out of 24 discussing whether they should raise tuition by a total of $4 million for the 1971-72 academic year. The scene is jolly--the men are "radiant as ten suns." Lewis might have said--and the tuition increase in passed. These men, and two women, don't worry about students shelling out a little extra cash...

In Dear America, Hess often seems possessed of a belief in the perfectibility of human nature that is as simplistic as his Goldwater conservatism-but, like the faith of most converts, totally sincere. As TIME Correspondent Arthur White learned when he visited Hess recently, the man seems to be practicing the classical, nonviolent anarchism he advocates. Hess owns little more than welding tools and the blue denim clothes on his back...
