...university for the activities of its students or faculty. General Hershey and local draft boards have their ways of dealing with dissent, but removing Federal support for universities will not change that situation at all. More important, I am not aware that Yale has suffered for the actions of William Sloan Coffin, or Harvard or M.I.T. for the anti-ABM views of Abram Chayes or Jerome Wiesner. Neither am I aware that any university suffered because its students and faculty were active in the Dump Johnson movement or anti-Vietnam war activities...
...mercury stood at 30° below zero, and the rosy Arctic twilight suffused the snow with an eerie blush when a DC-3, equipped with ski pontoons, bounced to a landing on the ice of Foxe Basin north of Hudson Bay. The first passenger off the plane, Judge William Morrow, hurried to the nearby community hall, which was redolent of blubber, untanned sealskin and oil. Without bothering to shed his mukluks (heavy sealskin boots), he pulled on the traditional black robe, white collar and tabs, and red sash of his office. Court was in session. For the tiny...

A product of prep schools, Princeton and genial genealogy, Fielding is descended on his father's side from Novelist Henry Fielding, related on his mother's to Naturalist William Temple Hornaday. After a brief postgraduate career as a mutual funds salesman, Temp turned to the typewriter and sold his first article to the Reader's Digest in 1940. He was then called into the Army and sent to Fort Bragg, N.C., where his commanding officer assigned him to write...
...Federal Reserve has been fighting inflation in much the same way so far in 1969, but until now the results have been less severe. Last week the board's policy of "resolute restraint," as Chairman William McChesney Martin describes it, hit home so hard that many bankers concluded that another crisis is imminent. "This is certainly the worst credit squeeze since 1966," said Beryl Sprinkel, chief economist of Chicago's Harris Trust & Savings Bank. "The question is whether it will get as bad as 1966. We're moving very rapidly in that direction...
