...Bayer are quick to point out that the figures represent a clear "downturn" from 1969-70, when incidents were so numerous that no one counted them precisely. No campuses experienced uproars on the same mass scale as those in the bloody spring of 1970. In addition, eruptions did taper off at the highly visible elite colleges and universities that often set the pace. Instead, last year's turmoil became "diffused," moving to the "invisible" campuses that newsmen rarely visit and educational leaders seldom discuss: public four-year colleges, Roman Catholic colleges and two-year private colleges. "Unrest," says Bayer...
...Elizabethan he always was and always will be. Thus Olivier was the embodiment of a calypso Othello, with a Caribbean accent and swagger. The highly stylized, slightly exotic Othello of Moses Gunn might have been a Cotton Club dandy.

He made a bad mistake last February when he predicted that overall inflation would decrease to a 3% annual rate by the end of 1970. On the other hand, he was correct in predicting that a recession would strike, though a bit too pessimistic about its severity. His recent record as a forecaster may be irrelevant to the validity of his main theory; yet Friedman's ideas gained popularity partly because he and other monetarists proved to be right in earlier forecasts...
...curbing inflation or reviving the economy. "We have come out of this very luckily," Friedman contends. "But we aren't through yet. The test is whether the Administration and the Federal Reserve will have the guts to keep the present relatively moderate expansion policy and let inflation taper down. There is a real danger of increasing the money supply at such a rate as to rekindle inflation...
