...University of Illinois at Urb ana-Champaign, students tried several ways of disrupting the campus. About 200 of them, led by members of Students for a Democratic Society, staged a "grovel-in" in the driveway of University President David D. Henry's house and read off a list of grievances including an appeal for more black students and a condemnation of the school's "white racist" policies. The students also tried to tie up telephone lines to administrative offices and to book appointments with campus officials in an effort to keep them too busy to perform their jobs...
While known in Southern California as "the go-go company," Union also has picked up something of a reputation as a polluter. Only two weeks ago, the company was accused of dumping 1,500 barrels of crude into the Santa Ana River after a mud slide broke a pipeline.

To cut down on the time lag, the hotel on each floor keeps a roaming cart that is in constant touch with the kitchen by radio. The hallways are designed to make guests enjoy their walk by providing surprise glimpses of the gardens and pools. President Gustavo Diaz Ordaz of Mexico was so delighted by the walks that he lingered 90 minutes exploring the hotel, though he had scheduled only a 25-minute visit...
