...Rockefeller's façade of noncandidacy at a time when the Governor prefers to remain committed, at least in public, to George Romney. Lindsay's refusal to cooperate hurts Rockefeller's credibility, and to whatever extent that the New York Governor's national prospects suffer, Lindsay's may prosper. Last week Rockefeller publicly asked Lindsay and his subordinates to end the eulogization. Lindsay replied disingenuously that he could not regulate his aide's private activities. Then at week's end he said New York Republicans will support Senator Jacob Javits...
Goldberg, the only one writing a thesis, uses the library more than others. His diligence is matched by Weiss, who has taken five courses since taking a leave of absence sophomore fall semester. In the conflict between athletics and academics, it is the grades that suffer, but almost everyone in the room made the "Dean's Team" last spring. Coach John Yovicsin acknowledged last week's hour-exam pressure--Brooks had one Wednesday, two Thursday, one Friday--by giving the team a day off: Friday.

An Englishman, an expert in guerrilla warfare, put it, I think brilliantly, to a Washington friend about a year ago. The visitor was asked why American efforts to impart the rudiments of orderly government seemed to have...
Except in Florida and Southern California, drive-in churches generally function only in the summer or for Easter sunrise services. They particularly attract vacationers who, as one minister puts it, suffer from "normal protestantitis"-the feeling that summer is the time to take a holiday from church. Many worshipers are attracted by the lack of usual Sunday formality, show up in everything from bathing suits to pajamas. The church lots are invariably packed with cars carrying rooftop boats, surfboards, golf clubs and picnic hampers. But the convenience of drive-in services also attracts the sick and disabled, parents with small...
