...January an Andreotti-led government that had ruled Italy since last spring collapsed when the Communists withdrew their support. At Pertini's behest, Andreotti then put together a jerry-built minority government consisting of his own Christian Democrats, the Republicans and the Social Democrats. The Premier's scenario was to present this weakling coalition to the senate, get a no-confidence vote that would lead to the dissolution of parliament and then to preside over elections. Italian politics being what they are, the elaborate strategy almost backfired. As the senate session got under way, word spread that members...
While it is clear that the AVF is not the panacea that many thought it might be, reinstituting draft registration is a misguided attempt at solving a complex problem. Registration supporters base their arguments on Pentagon studies that envision a scenario something like this: The Soviet Union (for some unexplained reason) sends massed troops into Western Europe. This sudden development--the United States intelligence community evidently knew nothing about it--mushrooms into "a prolonged war with extensive casualties." It seems that some of our representatives--who never speak in terms of the Vietnam debacle--forgot that the Department of Defense...
Young men and women of Harvard, a new and beguiling scenario is being written these days in key spots throughout this land. It's called "National Youth Service." Don't buy it. It's a euphemism for the grim and ugly reality of THE DRAFT. If the Pentagon can't figure out how to make a success of its volunteer army, let them give up the war idea altogether. Let unswerving opposition to this so-called Youth Service mark the recrudescence of student activism. Let Harvard lead the way in the cry for NO DRAFT! NO CONSCRIPTION! NO SELECTIVE SERVICE...
...potent as ever, except that today he casts his net at the malihinis, the strangers from all over who swarm to his Valley Island by the thousands, bearing millions. They do not come to Maui for the Don Ho-hula-grass skirt-sarong-muumuu-mai tai-lei-and-luau scenario that, in mainlanders' eyes at least, has become to Hawaii what Mickey Mouse is to Disney World or the one-armed bandit to Las Vegas. They come for some of the world's most spectacular scenery and a variety of activities unmatched by any comparable area on earth...
...signed his name, and the academic prestige of his title, to a course on the Thought of Joe Restic on how to win at football. And 20 students at Harvard University are enrolled in this course for academic credit. Shocking though this might seem to the uninitiated academic, our scenario is not inconsistent with the logic of recent tendencies at this university. Suffice it to mention two related phenomena: (1) the clamoring over-subscription of famous "gut" courses: and (2) the top-heavy enlistment of "pre-professional" (read: "pre-wealth") tutors in the Houses, so as to dampen any remaining...
