...Ugly Rift. These are not the words of the enthusiastic reformer of yester year - and for good reason. New York, the saying goes, is ungovernable. Yet the city, in some ways, is in worse shape today than it was under Lindsay's canny predecessor, Robert Wagner. Since Lindsay took office, the welfare rolls have doubled. Exorbitant rent increases have alienated and driven out middle-class whites - although the may or recently forced a substantial cutback by threatening landlords with rent control.

Poster Prose. Nowhere is the student-worker rift so potentially embarrassing as in Communist "worker states" themselves, and last week, in Yugoslavia, the revolution gap appeared. It began in the now familiar Paris pattern, when police used water cannons and clubs to turn back Belgrade university students from an overcrowded pop concert; next day, some 2,000 students occupied the campus in downtown Belgrade. Also as usual, they advertised their grievances on signs and banners...
