Other ads appeal to nationalistic sentiment. One shows a Soviet SST and is headlined: "Announcing international SST service-the best that rubles could buy." The real question for Congress, the ads contend, is "Will America be left on the ground?" The Russians have inadvertently aided that argument by-running two-page ads in Aviation Week & Space Technology, a U.S. magazine, urging aerospace executives to buy the Soviet TU-144 SST. They also announced that their plane will go into regular passenger service in October...
THAT Salvation Army-style sentiment is the unlikely canon of a muscular, bearded band of "hog" riders known as Hell's Angels. A hog, of course, is a motorcycle, and the Angels have long been first among riders of the open road. Born in California in the late 1940s, the black-clad, swastikaed Angels and their roaring bikes became the terrors of Highway 101. Guzzling beer and shaking the countryside with obscene laughter, they broke up legitimate motorcycle rallies and often sacked small coastal towns. Perversely, pop music (Black Denim Trousers and Motorcycle Boots) and film (The Wild...
...HUGHES is building up to the heart of his argument.

A mood of cynicism grew out of that strike, which had two sides; on the one hand, there is a lot more radical sentiment on campus. Many more people think that the system stinks. But, on the other hand, many of these people see no real way of changing it. The liberal politician's refrain "wait till next year!" is being met more and more with the realization that what we are being asked...
...Harvard alumni are not alone in their sentiment. Many Radcliffe alumnae and administrators do not see the equal admission of women as a top priority issue. Some would even prefer to see a substantial increase in the student body rather than reduce the number of men admitted to the college. Gilbert, chairman of the Radcliffe Trustees, said: "Harvard shouldn't educate less men. I'd hate to deny men a Harvard education. If more women need to go to college more places should be made...
