...fact, the study will have done the nation a service if it does nothing more than stir up meaningful debate. That it already is doing. So intense is public interest in its findings that a soft-cover version published by Bantam Books is already well on its way to the bestseller lists. In what a company spokesman called "the most phenomenal sale of any book in recent years," the report sold at a clip of 100,000 volumes a day in its first three days...
Student Courts. While coed dormitory hours and visiting rights in men's dorms still stir violent arguments on many campuses, Penn has assigned all such decisions to a ten-student, ten-teacher committee.

Kennedy's Selective Service reform bill--which would substitute random selection for the oldest-first policy. If Congress, like the President, avoids reevaluating the bizarre draft system, it will continue to exacerbate American frustration with an irrational war policy...
