...establish a community in the midst of what many students deem a cold and impersonal University. Such motives were, on the whole, honorable and sometimes noble. However, the act itself--joining the forcible occupation of University Hall--must be severely judged. Those who joined a given group because they share some of its purposes cannot absolve themselves of all responsibility for the actions and tactics of the group...
What has revealed the insufficiencies of this structure has been the arrival of a remarkable student generation many of whose members share with their peers elsewhere an enormous dissatisfaction with the world in which they now find themselves. These dissatisfactions express themselves quite differently among different students and by no means affect the entire student community. The expressions of discontent run the gamut from a cultural "hippie" rebellion to extreme political radicalism. Politically concerned students brought up to trust their leaders and to expect good will and progress from them, have in the recent years undergone an experience which...
...extremists, black as well as white, in ghettos as well as on campuses, are also allies of politicians like Yorty. Each disorder and each irresponsible threat of upheaval lends credibility to his kind of campaign. Last week's election could cause ripples far beyond Los Angeles. Other cities share the tensions and fears that Yorty capitalized on. Mayoral elections this year and next in New York, Cleveland, Newark, Detroit and Atlanta could turn on substantially the same emotions. With Sam Yorty's example so clear before them, other candidates may well be tempted to exploit the racial issue...

It was a sharp drop in his earlier support, and it appeared largely due to the strong, late showing of Communist Jacques Duclos, an ebullient campaigner who more than doubled his initially expected share of the vote. With virtually all the returns counted on election night, Pompidou had a strong 44% of the tally, Poher only 23%, with Duclos close behind...
...travel business has more than its share of venality, but during his 22 years as a guidebook writer, Fielding seems to have kept his integrity. He spends $60,000 a year of his own money on traveling, insists that he has never accepted a free plane ticket. There are seven European hotels in which Fielding allows himself to stay without paying because the operator is a close friend and would otherwise be offended. He makes up for that by overtipping: during a two-day sojourn at Madrid's Palace Hotel, managed by Alfonso Font, he gave away $130 in gratuities...
