...painters' helpers struggle. All four were active leaders of SDS. Less than a month later, four active members of NAC received the brunt of the CRR's discipline for "intensely and personally harrassing Dean May," who was speaking through a bullhorn to OBU occupants of University Hall. Scores of lesser-known radicals also took part in that harrassment...
Stravinsky is a man of sinewy sagacity, a man who dedicates his monumental energies to the service of humanity through the articulation of art made in scorn of the emotionalism which is the inspiration of lesser artists, in scorn of everything except a sense of truth willed to later men in perfect works.

Shoppers in Russian stores must typically move through three lines to complete a single purchase: one to select the item, another to pay for it, a third to pick it up. Red tape snarls every transaction. The Moscow weekly Economic Gazette recently published a study of the paperwork necessary to order a pair of pants from a Soviet tailor shop. No fewer than four magazine-size blanks must be filled out, it said, adding that Soviet trousers "eat" enough paper each year to print a daily newspaper with a circulation...
