Morcover, when he was done last spring, the University had committed itself to recruiting more black students, and to phasing out Brown's ROTC units: Magaziner played a key role in the negotiations between Brown's administrator and its blacks, and helped lead a student anti-ROTC sit-in at a meeting of the executive committee of the Brown Corporation. He also led several hundred members of last year's graduating class in turning their backs on Henry A. Kissinger '50, President Nixon's Assistant for National. Security Affairs.

Time and circumstance will tell if they are willing to take that risk. If the students do press for outright confrontation, there is doubt whether the broader Union of Yugoslav Youth would follow. The mediating role of the UYY would be crucial in any case...

Today he could light his cigars with bills of that size-and may be tempted to put his screen debut to the same use. At first glance, he can hardly be blamed. The movie's garish color and lighting would give an aspirin a headache, and its flubbed, dubbed screenplay is sheer, towering Babel. Yet here and there are some amusing hints of the ludicrous student who became...
