...drink or smoke, and I only chase one woman," says Harry Shuler Dent, and no one disputes the point. A South Carolina lawyer with brown-green eyes and an aw-shucks manner, Dent, 39, is a devout Baptist, a Sunday-school teacher, a lay preacher and the founder of the Senate staff prayer-breakfast group...
...raises are enabling some traditionally underrewarded workers to catch up. In New York City, for ex ample, the poorly paid public-school teacher is a figure of legend. Last week the teachers' union ratified a contract that, by 1972, will give some top mem bers $16,950 - for 40 weeks' work a year. Raises averaging 9.1%, which took effect last week, will bring the pay of two million U.S. Government civilian employees up to what their counterparts in private industry were collecting a year ago. A deputy bureau commissioner in a large department, for instance, goes up from...
...Guichard gained an enviable knowledge of France's political geography while in charge of decentralizing French industry.

As the next logical step, I began to absorb the issues of the strike--ROTC, Afro-American Studies, expansion--and could see nothing objectionable...
...concerned citizens, mostly graduate students, I wandered down to Soldiers' Field with a sandwich and several friends. Replete with a lot of equally idle speech and subsequent applause, the meeting seemed to have been packed by different faction. Down front of me I noticed one notoriously conservative classics teacher sitting all by himself, raising his hand dutifully at every opportunity to vote down the strike or against realizing one of the "demands"--as they were affectionately termed by their sponsors. Here was Athenian democracy minus such frills as property requirements, slavery, and demagogues with anything going for them. The meeting...
