...Daily Cardinal has irked state legislators by printing four-letter words. A recent-and typical -front page carried off-campus stories about the S.D.S. militancy in Chicago and the failure of the state assembly to resolve welfare problems. In California last month, after San Jose State College's Spartan Daily ran a straightforward front-page news story on the founding of a campus chapter of the Gay Liberation Front, scandalized trustees of the state's 19-campus college system overrode protests by faculty and student leaders and voted to tighten censorship on all student newspapers...

John Pieters does a very convincing job; he brought back those golden high-school days of drive-in movies and cramps in the groin. And after the reconciliation, with Myrrhina chasing him, he gives a similarly convincing impression of exhaustion. Judith Wells' Myrrhina...
...opposed any appropriations for actual hardware and weaponry. New Hampshire Democrat Thomas Mclntyre put in an amendment allowing deployment of radar and electronic gear at the first two proposed ABM sites in North Dakota and Montana. However, the Mclntyre plan would ban manufacture or installation of the actual Spartan and Sprint ABM missiles for at least a year...
