Some student protests have a way of producing results. Last winter Yale decided not to grant tenure to Associate Philosophy Professor Richard J. Bernstein. He was a capable enough teacher, so the argument went, but he had failed to publish a sufficient number of scholarly papers (TIME, March 12). Bernstein was popular with the Yalies and they raised a ruckus. As a result, President Kingman Brewster Jr. named a committee to look into the whole matter of tenure. Last week, after studying the committee's report, Brewster proposed a new plan for tenure procedures. Henceforth, suggested the president, certain...
Public opinion is on the side of the smugglers, especially in the mountain country, where nearly everyone has a friend or relative in the business. When border police accidentally shot a girl spallona in the neck last winter, citizens picketed the guard post with placards declaring: YOU SHOULDN'T SHOOT A GIRL FOR SMUGGLING!

...come from the north, driven by the night wind, smelling of the sea. There it would stay all winter, threadbare on the gray earth, an icy, sharp dust; not thawing and freezing, but static like a year without seasons. The changing mist, like the smoke of war, would hang over it swallow up now a hanger, now the radar hut, now the machines; release them place by place, drained of color, black carrion on a white desert...
General plans for the Institute depict it as a four-to-six-week program with intensive seminars on important news areas, like Southeast Asia or the European Market. The first Institute will hopefully be held during the winter of 1966-67 for about 25 editors and publishers...
