...vehement critics of the church; that what was once the church's first line of defense should now seem to be a fifth column. Many Catholic parents complain, for example, that their sons attending Jesuit schools are sheltered from neither the drug culture, early sex, political radicalism nor the general youthful antagonism to modern society. A young St. Louis Jesuit counters: "We no longer exist to give the conservative Catholic a pat on the back...

...then did Harvard refuse to divest? The basic issue of the dispute--Harvard's responsibility to apply pressure to aid black Africans --was conceded by the Corporation. This was the big shift, probably spearheaded by President Bok over the no doubt vehement objections of George F. Bennett'33, treasurer, who had successfully (and sincerely) argued in previous proxy fights that the University had no business meddling in corporate management. The necessity for Harvard to not only condemn but actively oppose certain actions of corporations in which it invested put Harvard clearly in the vanguard of universities as far as corporate...

The leading plotters are George Meany, eager to help reshape the party whose candidate he disdained; his chief political lieutenant, Al Barkan, director of Big Labor's Committee on Political Education (COPE); and Scoop Jackson, one of the most vehement of McGovern's preconvention rivals.

...empty West is one of few places left with room for airports. Around most major U.S. cities, home owners have risen in vehement objection to the noise of air traffic. Pending suits against Los Angeles International, for example, now add up to an incredible $4 billion. In New York City, authorities have been turned down every time they have proposed a site for a new jetport within 75 miles of Times Square. Indeed, New Jersey Governor William T. Cahill's election platform called for prohibition of any large new airports in the northern part of his state. St. Louis...

...when the agency began keeping records. Throughout the '60s, the annual incidence of violent crime rose from 160 to 393 per 100,000 inhabitants; murder increased 70%, rape 113% and robbery 212%. Although the need for law-and-order accounted for some of President Nixon's more vehement campaign oratory in 1968, the 3½ years of his Administration have witnessed an increase of more than 30% in major crimes, in most of which the victim gets no state compensation. And as San Francisco Police Lieut. William Koenig observes, "the big change over ten years ago continues...
