...chooses her words carefully: she has published only four volumes in the course of her career. But her work has won her an honored place among our best writers along with general critical admiration. In 1955, she won the Pulitzer Prize for North and South and A Cold Spring, and her Complete Poems was awarded the National Book Award last year. This Fall she is teaching at Harvard...
...commission was formed to investigate the violence that resulted in the deaths of students at Kent State and Jackson State last spring. The panel's report was submitted in September, and the President's response was made public in a letter to Scranton Saturday...
Local courts soon acquitted or dismissed the charges against nearly all the defendants. But the Justice Department used the incident as a reason to investigate a nascent radical group called the Seattle Liberation Front. Last spring FBI Chief J.

This would allow both public and private campuses to charge more of the full costs of education without becoming retreats for the rich. Last spring the Nixon Administration proposed one version of such a plan, but congressional approval has been delayed by the preference of many state colleges for grants to institutions rather than students. Whatever the answer, says Cheit, the current trend is clear: most U.S. campuses face "serious problems of retrenchment and readjustment...
