...San Francisco area, where last year almost 60,000 housewives, hippies, businessmen and beards marched, only 15,000 zealots turned out despite a blanket invitation to protest "against the war, racism, repression, poverty and the draft." Most of the 200,000 young Americans who took part in a day-long "student strike" by cutting classes the day before the marches just sat around on campuses, strumming guitars and singing folk songs. Remarked a San Francisco State professor: "Isn't it great that all these people came out to celebrate William Shakespeare's birthday...
Closely related to the student protests is the growing movement for black student power. From Yale to San Francisco State, Negro activists and some white supporters have sought to make the university become more active in uplift drives in the slum community, to introduce more courses in Afro-American history, and to recruit more Negro students, professors and administrators.

The company contended that there had been little competition for readers or advertising between its Los Angeles Times and the San Bernardino papers, published 60 miles east of Los Angeles. But in a novel application of the Clayton Antitrust Act, the judge ruled that the purchase...
Other environmentalists see their works as means to engage the viewer in a new kind of emotional release. New York's Tony Martin, who designed light displays for San Francisco's Fillmore Auditorium and Manhattan's Electric Circus, is currently showing his Game Room in Manhattan's Howard Wise Gallery. As each visitor steps onto one of the four sets of marked footprints (red for fire, blue for water, yellow for air and green for earth), he triggers photoelectric cells that set in motion a rapid-fire sequence of images, lights and sounds. Nature lovers (green...
