...silver C-141 Starlifter transport last week whistled to a stop at Rhein-Main airbase near Frankfurt. Out of it filed a 65-man U.S. Army unit, the advance party for one of the largest troop airlifts ever undertaken. Within the next two weeks, a total of 12,000 U.S. fighting men, including two brigades of the Army's 24th Infantry Division, will be flown from their U.S. stations to join the 220,000-man U.S. Seventh Army in West Germany. In addition, 96 droop-nosed F-4 fighter-bombers will jet from Stateside bases to West Germany...
...President credits his successes and 25 years of stability to two basic policies. One is an open-door policy in regard to foreign investment. The other is his Integration and Unification Program, an effort to erase divisions between Americo-Liberians and the tribal people and to stop intertribal warfare. To still tribal rivalries, Tubman traveled far and wide through the bush to attend palavers with local chiefs, even became grand master of the secret Poro societies, to which all of Liberia's 28 tribes belong. He has extended the vote to the tribal people and banned the term Americo...
Even after 25 years, "Uncle Shad" seems to retain genuine popularity with his people. He has the common touch.

Even now, at a public function, he is not above grabbing a snare drum and playing it, to the delight of the crowd. There is also an almost Victorian courtesy about him, to visitors as well as to his own people. Like the quadrilles he enjoys dancing, it is touchingly out of date...
...committee found that one of the easy ways of generating specific recommendations didn't work in this case. In effect it concluded that Harvard had few policies which it should be told to stop because of their deleterious effects on the community. Few of the problems plaguing Cambridge and Boston could be traced directly to Harvard policies, the committee said, arguing that most resulted from both Harvard and non-Harvard causes and that Harvard's contribution was often merely its presence in the City--not its policies...
...principle, to the actions one may choose. Thus you cannot say that the principle of free speech for everybody is inviolate. Under certain circumstances it is perfectly right and proper to curtail free speech. When George Wallace spoke at Dartmouth, students did everything in their power to try to stop him. As it turned out they had sufficient power to succeed in preventing him from speaking. At a Southern school they might not have had enough. It is all a question of power. Should an "ungenuine" man -- and there are many of these around despite the basic goodness...
