...Hooray to you students of Berkeley who see fit to idolize Patricia Hearst, or "Tania," for her membership in an organization that has Black Panther Leader Huey Newton targeted for death for abandoning the use of violence as a tactic.

...hallmarks of Gaullist politics as practiced by the late general was the building of an alliance of France's left and right under a national banner of pride and grandeur. For 16 years, that tactic kept the U.D.R. (Union of Democrats for the Fifth Republic) Party of Charles de Gaulle in power.

The tactic has worked: the Flyers finished with the second-best record in the National Hockey League and last week became the first expansion team in the league to play as a serious contender in the Stanley Cup finals...
Similar fairs are taking place hi other cities, sponsored by the National Association of College Admissions Counselors (N.A.C.A.C.). The fairs are higher education's newest tactic to combat a downturn in the rate of enrollment that threatens the survival of dozens of colleges-most of them private-and the financial stability of many more. Some 150 institutions, from Boston University (enrollment: 15,000) to North Carolina's Davidson College (1,100) paid $150 to set up booths for the daylong fair. Representatives of the American College Testing Program and the Veterans Administration were also on hand to advise...
