The cruelest thrust against Daley is a proposal to reform Chicago's civil service system and thus wreck the giant patronage network that has maintained the Daley combine as one of the last of the oldtime machines. Ogilvie associates added to the mayor's woes last week by backing an insurgent Democrat who squeezed out a slender victory...

Levi has relegated increasing responsibility for the university's conduct to the faculty, by so doing has engaged the support of most professors.

In one demonstration after another across the country, it has been the sudden application of brutal force that changed a mere protest into a bloody battle...
