Indian Givers. The Haight-Ashbury's veteran hippies are unhappy about all the attention they have been getting, about the misuse of drugs in their community, and the rise in disease rates. Many of the plastic flower people have gotten hooked on amphetamines, and these "speed freaks"-who shoot drugs with hypodermics-are passing hepatitis around on dirty needles. Venereal disease has also spread, and too many would-be hippies have allowed marijuana and LSD to become the main focus of their lives. Some of the most serious hippies, alarmed by these developments, have given up drugs altogether. Others...

Since then, he has presented the U.S. TV debut of such performers as Edith Piaf, Clark Gable, Maria Callas, Humphrey Bogart, Jackie Gleason, Marian Anderson, Julie Andrews, Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn, and the Beatles, not to mention such oddities as Liberace and Rise Stevens singing...
...conceivable that Magraw, like some radicals, desired a harsh reaction from the Administration, figuring that students--feeling oppressed and frustrated on parietals--would rise up in a grass roots version of student power to confront the Administration.

Time and Newsweek magazines last week chalked up the rise of Afro-American groups on campus to the summer's unrest and its effect on returning black students. But this is too simple an answer.

Also, black students are arriving on the white campus in greater numbers this year. And they have been affected not much by the summer unrest per se, but more from the forces which caused that unrest; the increased militancy within the black...
Call options lure bulls who figure stock prices will rise. A call is a transferable contract giving the purchaser the right to buy stock (almost always in 100-share lots) at a specified price (generally the market price on the purchase date) at any time during a specified period ranging from 30 days to a year. Last week, when National Video common was selling for $31.50 per share, an investor could have bought a call at $450 expiring next April 4. Provided that the stock rises as much as $5 a share by that date, the investor will be able...
