...meantime, educators hope that they will get some relief in an amendment by Senators Buckley and Claiborne Pell of Rhode Island to clarify ambiguities in the law. The amendment will deny students access to parents' financial statements; some parents are just old-fashioned enough not to want to disclose the family's finances to their children. The Buckley-Pell clarifications will also guarantee the privacy of letters of recommendation and other confidential materials - but only those already in the files. Future recommenders will simply have to shape their letters with the knowledge that their subjects may read them...
...Immense Relief. Considering how poorly Defendants Mitchell and Haldeman have fared under the prosecution's incisive crossexamination, Nixon's relief at not having to undergo the same treatment must have been immense. It could be argued, however, that Nixon's own interest would be served by testifying in a court of law, admitting his transgressions, and clearing the record so that he could write and speak freely in the future about his years in office...

A cutback in U.S. eating habits, even if sustained, will not automatically put grain on the table in Ethiopia or India. Thus churchmen recommend that Christians also get involved in political action to force increases in Government purchase and shipment of food to hungry countries...
When police seized three top leaders .and more than 20 alleged followers of the celebrated Baader-Meinhof gang in the summer of 1972, many West Germans felt a sense of relief. During a two-year reign of anarchist-inspired violence, the group, which styled itself the "Red Army Faction," was accused of dozens of bombings, bank robberies and cops-and-robbers shootouts. Since then, all of the defendants have remained locked up awaiting trial, but the authorities fear that the group's sympathizers have reorganized for another outbreak of terror...
