...press spokesman for Olsen said that the congressman has written to the editors of the newspapers of every college of over 3000 students to find support for his efforts to prevent the elimination of youth fare. He said that all editorials would be published in the Congressional Record to bring the issue to the attention of Congress...
...have been attempting to answer if those who rely on it are to make accurate judgments of what is happening politically in the nation. For too long the national press dealt with Wallace only in order to denigrate him--not seeking to explain why he attracted the type of support that he did.

Thus, Witcover spends 35 pages describing RFK's post-Jan. 31, 1968, re-thinking of his candidacy but he never...
...things as to toss them around. Most of their half-baked reforms are "reactionary," already anticipated and found unworkable by administrators. Often the next class of student activists would decide to reform the reforms or bring back the status quo. He does not cite any examples in support of this view, but goes on to conclude that a large establishment like the American university cannot change itself at the wish of every college class every year...
