Sociologist Marshall W. Meyer, a professor at the University of California at Riverside, has conducted a survey studying changes in political attitudes and career plans of Harvard-Radcliffe students over the last 5 years. Although the facts have not yet been released from his most recent poll, Meyer reported very little change between 1969 and 1972 in student attitudes toward political and administrative authority. In fact, the survey indicated a slight move toward the left. Paradoxically, there has been a simultaneous "pre-professional push." Applications to major universities' schools of law and medicine increased almost 50 per cent over...
David Riesman, Ford Professor of Social Sciences and a member of Meyer's survey team, said recently in The Washington Post, "It is behavior rather than attitudes that have changed over the last five years or so. What you see in these students is quiescence rather than acquiescence." Riesman went on to say that a large group of students, some former activists, feel guilty about joining the system, "but they feel forced into it--by the tight job market, by the failure of student activism...
...after the Six-Day War, that pledges Egypt not to expropriate U.S. property without compensation, 2) a plan for a "joint development institute" in Cairo to advise U.S. firms on the feasibility of Egyptian projects, and 3) the creation of "senior working groups" of Egyptian and U.S. technocrats to survey periodically such development needs as the re-equipping of the Suez Canal.

...than rats," says Deputy New York Health Commissioner Dr. Pasquale Imperato. With Dr. David Harris of Manhattan's Mount Sinai Hospital, Imperato has written a study of dog bites in New York City from 1965 to 1970. They report that more than 43% of the bites in the survey were by dogs weighing 50 lbs. or more. Confirming their findings, Urban Ecologist Alan Beck, also of Washington University, says that from 1963 to 1973, A.K.C. registrations of large-breed dogs increased dramatically (100% for German shepherds, 600% for Great Danes, 1,000% for St. Bernards...
Rewriting Laws. The fact that more women are living alone, going to work at odd hours and are generally more vulnerable accounts for many attacks. Most rapes occur in the black ghettos. In the most recent national survey, the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence found in 1967 that in 17 cities, 60% of rapes were committed by black men against black women, 30% by white men against white women, 10% by black men against white women and .3% by white men against black women. These figures may be shifting, however; in Philadelphia, the Center for Rape...
