...conservative or liberal label. Sometimes he sounds almost like Paul Goodman, the iconoclastic critic (Growing Up Absurd) of higher education. "I want to challenge our educational institutions in a catalytic way," he says. "They are operating essentially the same way they operated 100 years ago. I want to shake them up." One of the most important alterations he made in the Johnson budget was to add $25 million for experimental education, enough to fund 15 to 20 projects. "The name of the game is learning, not teaching," says Ed Meade, a high-ranking HEW consultant on loan from the Ford...

Lima has not suffered a serious shake in 30 months. Actually, the Seabees were preparing for a possible upheaval of a far different sort. In the past few months, relations between the U.S. and Peru have been disintegrating so rapidly that American diplomats fear that the embassy may become a target for mob violence...
