While the Kuomintang has been successful in recruiting many Taiwanese in recent years, its leadership remains almost exclusively in the hands of aging mainlanders. Despite good intentions, the party congress did not appreciably change that pattern. The newly elected central committee includes twoscore fresh faces, but among its 150 full and alternate members, only 13 are Taiwanese. A new party advisory committee for the Gimo, who is also director-general of the Kuomintang, seats only one Taiwanese among its eleven members; the average age of that body is an august 75. The central committee list is headed by Defense Minister...
...recent poll conducted for FORTUNE showed that about 40% of students enter college with the hope of bringing about change in the world. And that may be the crux of the problem.

Pastore has been expressing concern over what he considers the violence and questionable moral content of TV shows. While CBS President Frank Stanton eloquently defended TV's right to free speech in Washington last month, he also assured Pastore's Senate Subcommittee on Communications that he would police his air waves with renewed vigilance. Despite the assurance-or perhaps because of it-the Smotherses' April 6 show was studded with gibes...
...displayed a somewhat less cavalier attitude toward the body of 144 works that she has created over the course of 43 years. Not only is she beginning to film some of them for posterity, but a number of less familiar pieces have been revised and restored to her recent repertory as well...
