...invited honest answers, fresh opinions, dissenting views. The questioning began at field level two months ago, funneled steadily upward and inward to commanders and moved from there to the corridors of Washington. It constituted one of the most intensive policy reviews ever conducted inside the Federal Government, and the subject, of course, was Viet Nam. Last week the results reached the desk of the man who ordered the inquiry, Richard Nixon, who must ultimately weigh the choices and choose his course for extricating the nation from the longest war in its history. The timing was right, for at week...
...part of its Distinguished Visitors Program, the University of Massachusetts students invited Senator Strom Thurmond to speak on any subject of his choosing. The idea, said the school, was to balance the great number of liberal speakers on the program and bring a "seldom-heard opinion" to the campus. As Thurmond stepped to the podium, seven students in white sheets and hoods moved up to encircle the rostrum.

...such test, the young subject is held in his mother's lap within reach of a puzzle box. Behind a sliding transparent panel, a toy is placed to snare the subject's attention.

Currently, frame and subject seem superbly conjoined in a display of 46 huge, brilliantly colored canvases by Helen Frankenthaler. There, on the impassive walls, color gardens of imaginary flowers bloom with subtle petals of mauve, maroon, crimson, orange, cinnamon. There are stately, bold, blaring rectangles of cherry and apricot, leaping palegold fires, whistling blue sails of form...
...Spiegel of Manhattan (TIME, May 24), who have questioned the accuracy of any testimony given during or after hypnosis. Spiegel said that Caron's desire to cooperate with the Government, along with his own instability-he had tried suicide in his cell -made him a highly suggestible hypnotic subject. For example, Spiegel pointed out, Caron had remembered Miller's license plate only after all of the digits were suggested to him during the sessions. His identification of Miller, moreover, could have been reinforced through the power of suggestion...
