...city council of middle-income Thousand Oaks unanimously declared Oct. 15 to be "a day of community effort for peace"; the University of Southern California, long one of the most protest-proof of universities, has taken the lead in the area's M-day movement; Harry Evans, a Western-region official of the United Automobile Workers, insists that "my contacts with the workers in our union convince me that the majority of workmgmen today want us to get the hell out of Viet Nam." Six months ago, he admits, that was not so. Now, "some think there has been just...
Dartmouth, still glowing after an equally impressive 41-0 rout of Penn, rolled into the top spot with 16 of the 18 first place votes cast by sports writers and sportscasters in the six-state region.

Manhattan is heavily populated by the East Side affluents, by poor blacks and Puerto Ricans...
...America's global efforts to prevent social revolutions ("internal war"). The project was to concentrate on the Latin American countries, where left-wing insurgencies were getting to be a pretty scrious problem in the early 1960's, and a major field office was to be established in the region to co-ordinate data-gathering operations. The initial Camelot project was to be a three-to-four year undertaking with a total cost of about five million dollars, and in the early stages there was optimistic banter in some Washington circles about the possibility that the project would eventually mushroom into...
