Should B. C. follow through on the promise. Boston College will be the first university in the world to have a Paul McCartney Entertainment Center...
...sooner had the troops entered Cambodia than Dean Ernest May, heretofore mum on the question of the war, was appearing all over the place flashing the "V" sign and urging students to follow him down to Washington and lobby for peace. Many students felt, and still feel, that lobbying in Congress is the best way to end the war. But many other students questioned the sincerity of the University's anti-war zeal, and pointed to contradictions in its stance.

...after nearly a quarter century of constant hostility and frequent war touched off new varieties of shock waves.

This is what Ulbricht wants, and once he gets it, he might veto increased contacts with West Germany unless they have been guaranteed. Even more important, overhasty recognition would jeopardize the security and economic health of West Berlin, which Ulbricht insists is an independent political entity on East German...
