...problem throughout history. The college years are those of peak physical energy, a search for identity, freedom and power?all reasons to lash out at frustrating restrictions. Medieval students often scorned learning in favor of brawling and thieving; early American collegians were equally unruly. In 1825, the University of Virginia faculty requested police protection against "personal danger" from belligerent students. Professors at other 19th century U.S. campuses were shouted down, pelted with refuse. Not only have students frequently rioted against one another; they have also started quite a few revolutions...
...subject so far, he has disappointed consumer advocates by not naming Republican Mary Gardiner Jones, the leading consumer champion on the FTC, to replace Democrat Paul Rand Dixon as chairman. Last week, however, Nixon chose a new consumer assistant, and the reaction was almost entirely favorable. He picked Mrs. Virginia Knauer, 54, director of Pennsylvania's Bureau of Consumer Protection. A Republican stalwart, Mrs. Knauer probably could do without her new $28,000-a-year salary. She and her husband, Attorney Wilhelm Knauer, 75, live in a large 19th century house with two servants-though she does...
...three decades, until his retirement in 1960, John L. Lewis reigned as the uncrowned monarch of West Virginia, where coal is the fundament of kingdom. His heir as boss of the United Mine Workers is no seigneur. After six years in the job, W. A. ("Tony") Boyle is threatened by a rank-and-file revolt that would have been inconceivable in John L.'s day. The disaffection has seriously weakened Boyle's grip on the union, and could even cost...

Columnist Joseph Alsop and Geneticist Joshua Lederberg, who writes a weekly column for the Washington Post, have entered demurrers. In a Virginia court, Jensen has been quoted by attorneys resisting the integration of schools in Greensville and Caroline counties. Well aware of the article's incendiary value, the editors of the Review will publish five closely reasoned rebuttals to Jensen's thesis in their next issue...
Large, big-shouldered and calmly slow of speech, Virginia-born Jack Beal does not consider his pensive portrayals of present-day odalisques as outright fantasy. Rather, he says, they are a reaction against the ephemeral daydreams he spun as a child in the orphanages to which he was periodically committed because both his parents (now dead) were Faulknerian alcoholics. "Southerners," says he, "can be terribly hung up on fantasies." Schooled in painting at the Chicago Art Institute, Beal builds his compositions as carefully as any Abstractionist-and the sofa or chair in his pictures is as important as the figures...
