...would prove that "CIA owes the youth of this country an apology." CIA's involvement with the academic community has been a target of Ramparts before: an article last April lambasted Michigan State University for providing cover for five CIA agents during a federally financed project to train South Vietnamese policemen. Predictably, its 10,000-word article on the U.S. National Student Association was larded with pejorative clichés about "the sinister specter" of CIA mixing with a student group...
Among the many requests that the Interstate Commerce Commission gets from railroads anxious to discontinue unprofitable passenger service, the one it ruled on last week was aptly described as "unique." The train that came under the commission's scrutiny operates almost at capacity in peak seasons, remains as plushly appointed as the day it came into operation 18 years ago, and has received virtually no complaints from passengers about deteriorating service.

No matter. Mass TV exposure and dubbed-in accompaniment lifted their first recording-Last Train to Clarksville, an innocuous ditty dashed off by a team of songwriters during a 20-minute coffee break-to the top of the charts. Their second album, More of the Monkees, has now moved from 122nd to first place in its second week on the pop tree, establishing them...
