...only black in the class of 1969 at Caltech, Rhodes, the son of a steelworker, was twice elected student-body president-a foretaste of his current political career. As a junior fellow at Harvard, he was named the youngest member of the President's Commission on Campus Unrest in 1970, but soon joined the White House enemies list for wondering aloud whether Nixon's reference to "campus bums" had encouraged the killings at Kent State. Democrat Rhodes soon afterward quit his studies and in 1972 won election to the state legislature from Pittsburgh. He is virtually assured...

Communist Party Chief Enrico Berlinguer countered that divorce was "just and unexpendable...

But last week, with the inevitability of a hangover the morning after a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, confusion and economic unrest replaced some of the jubilation. Portugal's troubles in Africa seemed as intractable as ever, and the sudden lifting of repression in Lisbon was spawning such ferment that it could lead to political chaos...
