...taped program was in full color, and it pre-empted prime-time TV shows ?from Lost in Space to The Lucy Show ?throughout California. The star was that old TV steady, Ronald Reagan, and he had a new sponsor: a Reagan fan club called Californians for a Creative Society, which picked up the $20,000 tab "in the interest of an informed citizenry." What he had to say was news to a lot of people, including most state legislators, who for the first time learned from the tube what the Governor would later ask them to enact...

As Lieutenant Governor of California, Finch had opposed many of Ronald Reagan's conservative desegregation policies, and his appointment was a quiet relief to civil rights leaders and Congressional liberals.

Hayakawa claims that he is reaching "meaningful stages of negotiations" with the BSU, but few black students are ready to give up their strike. The teachers' strike is no nearer to solution than it was last week; as Reagan, Dumke, and Hayakawa have remained intractable, the teachers have won backing from other labor unions and other groups of teachers in the State College chain. And although there have been fewer violent clashes in the last few days than earlier, growing numbers of students seem committed to proving that they...
