Awaiting Justice. That tactic immediately roused assorted candidates for New York's forthcoming mayoralty campaign. They demanded that Gallagher reopen the college. He refused, fearing racial violence. When his politically sensitive board then directed him to resume classes, Gallagher said that he would "go to jail" rather than use police to clear the campus. Last week the south campus occupiers finally decamped under court order. But when school reopened, bitter fighting broke out between blacks and whites. As angry whites saw it, the long shutdown had damaged their education, while mass admission of blacks and Puerto Ricans threatened...
Joined by a few radical professors, S.D.S. organized a huge rally in the Cornell fieldhouse, at which 6,000 whites threatened to stage their own demonstrations.

...West Berlin Senate tried once more to reopen negotiations with East Germany, but a telex reply from East Berlin only reiterated the earlier Communist intransigence. Western diplomats were puzzled by the sudden reversal in Communist tactics. After all, even East German Boss Walter Ulbricht had sent a compromise proposal similar to Tsarapkin's to West Germany. Ultimately the most widely accepted supposition in the west was that Ulbricht had only reluctantly gone along with the initiative in the first place. By that theory, he later succeeded in persuading the hard-liners in the Kremlin leadership to override the compromise...
