...worst of it all is the heavy pressure now being applied against the organization. Police and FBI informants have infiltrated many campus chapters. S.D.S. militants at Columbia and Dartmouth have been jailed; narcotics and bomb-plot charges have been brought against members in New York, Colorado and Pennsylvania. In recent months, six of S.D.S.'s twelve regional offices have been vandalized and files burned or stolen. Four different congressional committees have announced plans to investigate the group. The growing official hostility partly explains why S.D.S. was refused meeting facilities at 60 colleges, camps and halls before deciding, surprisingly...

Alford, a personnel expert who conducted a recent one-year survey of Navy life, says that when the tone of a husband's letters about his work changes from eagerness to boredom, wives swing from resolution to discouragement. So far, no systematic study has been made on the effects of wifely missives. New Haven Psychiatrist Houston Macintosh found that the spouses of Air Force men, virtually all of whom volunteer...
