Technically, the new law demands that for every book a student wants to have exempted, he must go to an individual professor and have an individual exemption slip signed. This procedure is so absurd and so time-consuming that it could have had only one result. No one would have used...
...check any sudden spurt in defection, Peking sent army units to the borders above Hong Kong and Macao, but a lot of Chinese still managed to slip through. With them came unconfirmed reports that Mao Tse-tung was suffering from throat cancer and that the Red Guard-led purge was the last gasp of a dying dictator. To be sure, Mao has not spoken publicly during his last few outings, allowing Defense Minister Lin Piao (TIME, Sept. 9) to be his mouthpiece.

The new eight-track cartridge (price: from $4.95 to $10.95) is about the size and weight of a paperback book, requires no threading or rewinding. The driver can easily slip it into the dashboard player without taking his eyes off the road; it plays through four speakers-usually mounted in the front and rear doors-without interference from bumpy roads, tunnels, bridges or commercials. President Johnson has stereotape players in his airplane and most of his cars, favors dance music...
