...main building with cypress trees that the school had cut down in order to expand the Texas football stadium. The protesters were particularly angered by the administration's decision to rush the cutting; a few hours later an Austin court handed down a restraining order that would have spared the trees. In November, more activists occupied a campus snack bar from which university officials had barred nonstudents. Both conflicts were partly defused by negotiation, a tactic that the regents now regard as appeasement. The outlook: more trouble at Texas...
Needling the North. The Administration belatedly switched signals to avoid the embarrassment of backing a segregationist ploy already ruled unconstitutional. HEW civil rights lawyers pointed out that if the original Whitten amendment passed, the Administration would have little choice but to denounce it as such, or to institute a quick court test to underline the point. Either way, the Administration would have been forced into taking direct actions repugnant to the South, countermanding the Congress and endangering future HEW appropriations...
...John Stennis refers to as the "sectional policy of forcing greater integration on the South than is actually practiced in many Northern cities." Stennis believes, probably rightly, that "if this pattern is enforced outside the South, it will bring about a more modified policy." He is contemplating legislation that would create an automatic presumption of illegal segregation wherever minority groups account for more than 50% of a school's enrollment. The result would affect hundreds of Northern communities...

But it is known that he still reads it since his own retirement this year, and it would be surprising if he did not. It was De Gaulle who encouraged Beuve-Méry to start Le Monde at the end of World Wat II as an honest newspaper that would carry France's prestige throughout the world. He probably got more honesty than he sought, for Le Monde became one of his most eloquent critics over issues such as Algeria, nuclear policy...

A shrewd businessman, he ensured The Messiah's success by hiring the best and most popular singers in 18th century London to sing it. If the bass singer was not very good, Handel would turn the bass aria into a recitative, rewrite it for an alto or even a soprano. For flexible soprano voices, he would doll up the music with ornaments and, if another soprano complained, he would steal a few arias from the first soprano and slip them to the second...
