...that people are choosing to lead more and more insular existences rather than wanting to help people help themselves? When I read your article on Newark [March 21], I realized only too well what Mayor Addonizio meant by his statement, "America is not prepared to save its cities." He, as well as I, and many others, is aware that some of the nation's wealthiest white bedroom communities come very close to touching Newark-physically. I grew up in Short Hills, N.J., one of the most elite. And I found that after the rioting those who "have" reacted...
Seferiades explained in last week's statement that "for some months I have felt within me and around me that more and more it is becoming imperative for me to speak out on our present situation. It is almost two years since a regime was imposed upon us utterly contrary to the ideals for which our world-and so magnificently our people-fought in the last world war.

All the court had done, said Stewart, was to require eavesdropping disclosure "where the surveillance violated the Fourth Amendment. We did not decide that any of the surveillances did violate the Fourth Amendment." Eavesdropping that is necessary to national security may well be legal, he said, and lower court judges may be free to decide that issue in chambers, without the defendant's participation. Thus, Stewart intimates, public disclosure...
...ROTC] here" so that students can use it to satisfy their military obligations. But until a month ago conscientious objectors who were satisfying Selective Service requirements by alternative civilian work, were barred from employment at the University. A more accurate description of why President Pusey wants ROTC is his statement that "it's terribly important for the United States of America that college people go into the military." As a conscientious objector, I disagree on the importance of the military, but I realize the president's view is closer to the majority than mine. However, I think it's disturbing...
