...their differences of nationality, mood or cause, student activists around the world have many common traits and habits. They tend to read the same authors, particularly the U.S.'s C. Wright Mills, Norman Mailer and Paul Goodman. Their favorite is California Professor Herbert Marcuse, 69, who argues that individuals are dominated and manipulated by big institutions of government and business, and that man has the obligation to oppose them. And they tend to have the same heroes; among them are such disparate Americans as Martin Luther King, Stokely Carmichael and Robert Kennedy, who is now much more popular with...
...Business School and follow other roads to a business career. We can understand this partially by nothing that on this campus most students who go into business engage in extra-curricular activities, spend more time on social life, and are less grade-oriented than the academically-oriented students, who tend to be less suited to business careers anyway. This may well be the case in many circumstances, but it is too easy an explanation to wipe out the basic statistical trend...
Perhaps Kirk did not expect such a gory display, and it is assumed he is not happy about it. But he should have realized that a middle-of-the-night invasion by police who tend to react quickly to student resistance could easily explode. David B.

For one thing, Italian labor is being lured to other countries, creating shortages at home that will tend to push up wages. Rising private consumption is expected to exert a similar pressure on prices. And so far, at least, the government, which faces an election late this year, has shown little desire to curb its own spending or that of the electorate...
...urban areas, particularly in the North, Negro churches-like their white counterparts-have been suffering from a steady erosion of influence. One problem is that college-educated Negroes, as they gain in affluence, tend to abandon fundamentalist churches. Says Detroit N.A.A.C.P. Leader Robert Tindal, describing the Negro's Christian status ladder: "When you're poor, you're Baptist; when you advance slightly, you become a Methodist; when you arrive you're an Episcopalian." By comparison with King and other outspoken Southern pastors, the majority of Northern clergy have been much more passive in the struggle...
