...reason that students are getting more attention is that there are so many of them-and larger student bodies make larger demonstrations. Since the mid-1950s, university enrollments have doubled and more: from 380,000 to 880,000 in Latin America, from 739,000 to 1,700,000 in Western Europe, from 2,600,000 to 7,000,000 in the U.S. Among these, the vast majority are not militant and are often repelled by and sometimes moved to protest against the extravagances of the extremists. The majority are not apathetic but are more concerned with courses than causes...

Suddenly, something went wrong, and the U.S.'s most advanced warplane crashed somewhere in the dense jungle of Thailand or western Laos. It was the third F-111 crash since a squadron of six of the $6,000,000 swing-wings made their combat debut in Viet Nam less than a month...

Jacobs and her colleagues working at Western General Hospital in Edinburgh knew that a number of mentally defective men with a double dose of both sex chromosomes, or XXYY, had been found in Swedish and English institutions as criminals or hard-to-manage inmates.* This made the researchers wonder whether it was the extra Y that predisposed...
...largest movie house in the country. It seats over 4,000. The Music Hall tends to stick with sure hits. Whenever the Boston schools relinquish their charges for a week of vacation, the management never fails to be ready with the latest James Bond extravaganza or yet another Italian western. At $1.50 a head, 4,000 popcorned kids make for a pretty respectable showing on a rainy Saturday afternoon...
