Such official attempts to silence student publications are not new. In the past year, bureaucrat-censors have imposed censorship on the Daily Texan at the University of Texas and forced the resignation of three editors of the Daily Californian at Berkeley. Palo Alto police ransacked the offices of the Stanford Daily in an attempt to confiscate pictures to use as evidence against a group of demonstrators. Many college functionaries--like BC's President W. Seavey Joyce--and public officials--like Massachusetts Attorney General Robert Quinn, who prosecuted the Heights editors--apparently believe that freedom of the press is a right...
...thoroughly practical activist with a lawyer's talent for bending the System to his advantage, Connally, 54, has become one of the strong men of the Nixon Cabinet since he joined it last February. Although a Democrat and former L.BJ. man, Texan Connally is increasingly mentioned as the man who may replace Spiro Agnew on the G.O.P. ticket next year...
Lately a third man has entered the power struggle: John Connally. The tall Texan does not claim to know much about economics. But he can read numbers and, as he told critics when he took office as Treasury Secretary, "I can add."

...galleries at last week's British Open learned anything, it was: Don't mess with Supermex, otherwise known as Lee Trevino. Teamed with Britain's own Tony Jacklin in the third round, the gritty little Texan reacted to the crowd's partisan booing with typical machismo: "That only makes me fight harder." Fight he did. Scrambling as he had been doing all week, he started off the final round with four birdies on the first nine holes to take a seemingly insurmountable five-stroke lead. Then, on the treacherous 17th hole on the rolling moonscape of the Royal Birkdale Golf...
...answer was not unexpected; more surprising was the vehemence with which Nixon threw away his options. He designated Treasury Secretary John Connally, a nominal Democrat, as "chief economic spokesman," a new title in the Administration. The tall, smooth Texan promptly became Nixon's no man. In the most unyielding language, Connally announced that the President would not set up a wage-price review board, would not declare wage-price controls, would not ask Congress for a stimulative tax cut and would not countenance any further increase in federal spending unless it was "directly related to reducing unemployment...
