Against the immense problems raised by this trend, the LSE Administration's concern with minute points of discipline can only hurt the real business of education. For six weeks in February and March, the Administration exhausted the School with disciplinary hearings which most students and many faculty members thought fundamentally unnecessary and unjust. This week, the students have taken possession of the main buildings, and are running an "open university." In a letter from London which arrived yesterday, a friend described the round-the-clock seminars on educational theory and structure; lectures by sympathetic academics; and the general ferment...
...country, but the cracking of Communist theories and alliances has produced more relaxation almost everywhere. Instead of hacking about the glorious revolution, writers are turning to subjects that range from black humor to dadaism-and the regimes are increasingly helpless to stop the flow. For anyone who doubts the trend, the Czechoslovak Communist Writers' Union weekly Literárni Noviny (Literary News) last week completed the final installment of an eleven-part series.

Antagonist into Ally. Even before last week's decision, the White House was already working to reverse the trend.

The trends towards specialization (i.e., functional assignments within the Party, the government bureaucracy, etc.) were also eroded during this period of reaction to the failures of the Great...
...popular are the sweaters that Manhattan's Bonwit Teller has repeatedly sold out its Pierre Cardin version, at $30 and $37.50, to such customers as Steve McQueen, Jason Robards Jr. and Paul Newman. Cardin, the designer most responsible for the trend, insists that the turtleneck is appropriate for any occasion, provided that the suit it is worn with is "modern"-by which he means a suit designed with a high-cut jacket. The style horrifies restaurant headwaiters, who are still weathering the onslaught of women in pants suits. But it appeals strongly to brolly males on both sides...
