...some of the teaching fellows, the cry for divestiture is juvenile self-indulgence. Perhaps they are tired, or their study of Government leads them to despair of all change. Perhaps the conservative Government Department has socialized them. In any event, they appear to lack a social conscience. It is shameful and sad that teachers of political science at one of the most prestigious Americun universities seem to have lost respect for fundamental American political values: freedom to protest against injustice, equality for all races, democratic decision-making, and social activism. How can such teachers do justice to the American Revolution...
...abandoned effective political action. "Come 1966," says Wallace in her polemic style, "the black man had two pressing tasks before him: a white woman in every bed and a black woman under every heel."

Translating this theoretical model into a practicable application involves isolating a particular type of behavior and identifying the control factors affecting it. One use in the social sciences is especially appropriate in view of last week's rally in Washington against nuclear power and the mishap at Three Mile Isle last month. The author's model for determining the rate of power plant construction pits the pro-nuclear lobby against the "ecology" lobby and predicts that at a certain point a nuclear disaster will cause a catastrophic cutback in construction...
