...declare "Thou shalt not have the right to belong to an immoral organization" is not merely ludicrous. It implies that on anyone's say-so, Harvard students can be shorn of their right to join, for example, SDS, on the grounds that SDS is immoral because SDS' confrontation politics strengthen support for Wallace and repression. Who's to decide what's moral and what isn't? If SDS can arrogate to itself such moral infallibility, why can't the Mountaineering Club--who get closer to God--do the same?

The one touch of melodrama is provided by Kerouac's pal Claude who murders an obstreperous pansy...
...Match Political Editor Jean-Raymond Tournoux, who conducted more than 1,000 interviews with several hundred people who had talked with De Gaulle over a period of 20 years. In a recent Paris-Match article, Tournoux quoted De Gaulle as saying: "England-I want her in the nude," meaning shorn of all economic and political power before admission to the Common Market. And like most of his bons mots, insists Tournoux, this one has been used by De Gaulle over and over in private conversations. "I was told this one by two ministers who are still in the government...
