As soon as he heard of Republican Knight's charges against Republican Nixon, Governor Brown picked up the cry: "If Knight's charges are true, it's the most shocking political scandal in the history of the state.

...University of Chicago's exuberantly extracurricular Alice Schaeffer, 21, is an English major from Evanston, who moved the dean of students to burble that she is "the veritable Renaissance woman of unending versatility." A top scholar, Alice won such praise by tireless toil for the university theater, the annual Blackfriars shows, the Darwin show, the Billy Barnes Revue, the interdormitory council and the Festival of the Arts. This summer she has a job in a student revue at Chicago's Sherry Hotel; next fall she heads for Stanford and a master's degree. Her dream...
