...whether there will be calm on the campuses but whether the continuing protest wave can be kept below tidal proportions. TIME interviews at a score of institutions last week indicated that many university administrators expect renewed unrest, but they hope that defensive tactics developed from the cruel experiences of recent years, plus concessions to legitimate student demands, will prevent violence and the disruption of entire universities. At Dartmouth, Dean Carroll Brewster was discussing prospects for the fall when a loud noise outside his office window interrupted him. "That's a car, not a shot," he quickly assured his visitor...

Witness the recent miscalculation of their mood by Charles de Gaulle, who presumed himself to be modern France incarnate. The challenge of trying to explicate such a capricious, restive and magnificently wrongheaded people is always strong. It has been stimulated lately by what the French discreetly call "the events" of May-June 1968 as well as by the general's abrupt departure...
