...like St. Paul's," Mr. Garin's calculated reply is that "Lipset presents no overwhelming evidence that bluebloods made up any more than 50 per cent of the 'militants.' "But why such a high proportion from an elite whose interests were supposedly challenged, and who should have been totally absent from SDS? I am not certain either, and look forward to The Crimson's investigative series on this key question. Still, Mr. Garin reports, "The rulers of American society allow the academic elite its measure of independence because scholars have generally aligned with the political and economic elite."

...word of this generation is 'informality,'" Mansfield continues. This has attractive qualities to it, among them friendliness and easy-goingness, he says.

Only last week did Room 303 of the Erie County courthouse in downtown Buffalo begin to fill. Representatives of the Six Nations Indian "family" occupied one row in the spectators gallery. Sketch artists and television reporters craned for a better view.
