...women or all hucksters who do little other than peddle levi jeans and watch La Verne and Shirley. But if they had done nothing more than showcase themselves over there as one of the finest college vocal groups this country has to offer, that would have been both valid and sufficient...
...tenants may have had valid complaints but this does not justify the University's arrogant dealings with the vendors and musicians. The University ignored their offer to pay for a police detail to supervise the plaza, and has shown no interest in trying to work out a compromise agreement. It has even ignored the distinction between vendors who actively solicit for money, do not attract large crowds, and usually work during the day, and musicians who do not directly solicit money and usually work weekends and evenings...

Zenith will begin selling Sony systems under its own label next fall, and RCA will be marketing a Matsushita-built system by then too. If color TVs and pocket calculators are valid precedents, the price of video-tape units should fall fast. Even if Universal and Disney win a final verdict in, say, 1980, there may be so many machines and tapes in American living rooms that enforcing the decision would be a practical impossibility...
