...they have new status, or, rather, they can have it if they are wise. Part of the tax revolt, the outcry against Big Government and all the rest, is a new national appreciation of the economic system and the people who make it go. If they are not folk heroes yet, they can at least go to the Senate chamber, as they did last week, with pride...
Whatever the plight of the farmers, the real victims are the consumers. Complains New Yorker Henrietta Wise: "Every time I walk into a grocery store, I'm terrified. It's more than the prices, it's the whole concept of food. It's the basic substance of life." Some shoppers have become de facto vegetarians because of the sky-high price of meat, but vegetables are no bargain either.

Campus sit-ins were nothing new in 1971 when demonstrators seized part of the Stanford University Hospital, but student editors of the Stanford Daily (circ. 15,000) covered the event anyway.

And every bit as much schoolwork. The days when more than half of Andover's senior class sailed into Yale or Harvard are long gone. Andover still gets 40% of its seniors into...
...their best, the electives have the intensity and ferment of Kelly Wise's novel and drama course. Wise's teaching style is vastly different from that of Georgie Hinman, a legendary Latin teacher of an earlier Andover who stabbed penknives into his peg leg to express disapproval and made students flush bad translations down the toilet. Wise, in contrast, has a more casual attitude toward the 14 seniors in his class. "I don't act as a sage," says Wise. "Sometimes I lie and dissemble and distort to provoke them, to make it impossible for them...
