...University. The decision intones that no professor or group of professors can, through formal proceedings, successfully challenge the prerogative of a dean or administrator--even when, as in this instance, they feel that University Statutes have repeatedly been violated. In a supposedly open community, this denial of formal redress is deplorable...
...population and an estimated 17% of all registered voters, the elderly are mobilizing their political power. This mobilization could become more effective than the much heralded new youth vote because oldsters regularly vote in large numbers and know their needs precisely. Their aim is government redress for inadequate health care, housing, employment and income. Some 6,000,000 have joined politically oriented groups like the National Council of Senior Citizens and the American Association of Retired Persons, which lobby for legislation to aid oldsters.

...current $11.7 billion total of U.S. direct investment in the Common Market countries is large enough.

Women's Lib has produced literary heat, but no warmth-and little humanity. The very person to redress this balance turns out to be no hot-panting tractarian, but rueful Novelist Peter De Vries, who, like Adlai Stevenson and Mark Twain, has suffered from the American assumption that anyone with a sense of humor is not to be taken seriously. De Vries is the most domestic of writers. Except for his masterpiece, The Blood of the Lamb, his literary charades more or less cheerfully present a more or less repetitive series of matrimonial alarums and excursions. The De Vries...
