...embassy as he was spending a quiet weekend at Camp David. He conferred by phone several times during the day with top advisers, including Vance and Brzezinski. The President was grim-faced when he arrived at the White House at 8:15 Monday morning; he promised newsmen a statement, but then decided to wait for further developments. Meanwhile, the National Security Council went into almost continuous session. Initially, Washington had been relieved to receive Prime Minister Bazargan's promise that he was ready to help.

With less than complete success, however, as General Goodpaster learned to his chagrin just two weeks after making that statement. The silver-haired, 35-year veteran of the Army, who came out of retirement in 1977 to become West Point's highly regarded superintendent a year after the cheating scandal that resulted in the expulsion of 152 cadets, was summoned to Washington last week for a grilling by Army brass about a second scandal.

...strongly object to the statement in Susan K. Brown's article of November 2, 1979, that "most colleges today are happy to divorce themselves from responsibility for their students' social lives." Ms. Brown does not seem to understand that treating college students like the adults they have legally become is quite different from abandoning responsibility for them.
