...Today suspicion has replaced trust. U.C.'s own regents are curbing the university's traditional independence. The state's open hand with funds is clenching into a fist. For the first time in U.C.'s 102-year history, the regents have imposed tuition; by fall 1971, students will pay more than $600, twice the current so-called "fees." In 1968, the voters rejected U.C.'s request for a building bond issue. A decade ago, California ranked sixth in state support of higher education; as the '70s dawned, it had fallen to 28th...
...Suspicion. The committee's decision was both tactical and practical. Mills recognized that welfare systems throughout the country are on the brink of collapse and need more than simple repairs. Also, he was caught off guard by the Nixon message, and suspected a political trap. When HEW Secretary Robert Finch began attacking the Ways and Means Committee in public statements for delaying the welfare bill, Mills came to believe that the Administration, with an eye to this year's congressional and gubernatorial elections, was more interested in a campaign issue than welfare reform. Mills thought that Nixon would...
Still Vulnerable. Suspicion immediately centered on several Greek extremist organizations that stubbornly refuse to accept any political solution for the divided island short of enosis (union with Greece).

Tales of the difficulty, expense and frustration of getting repairs for the car, the dryer, the TV set or just about anything were first whispered and then shouted through the land. The advent of the computer brought a quantum jump in dunning letters for bills already paid. Travelers swiftly spanned the oceans only to spend hours circling airports back home?and then find that their baggage had flown on to some destination of its own. At length the telephone?lifeline of American society and quintessential product of American efficiency?brought not the voices...
Morgenthau's investigations raise serious questions about the ethical role of U.S. banks as conduits for illegal dealings. For instance, says Morgenthau, "the facilities of a California bank and a Midwestern bank were used, under circumstances that should have aroused suspicion, to transfer from an American company to a Swiss bank funds that were being used to pay kickbacks to employees of N.C.O. and officers' clubs overseas." One of the New York banks that Morgenthau was investigating was Manufacturers Hanover Trust, whose Wall Street branch handled millions skimmed from Saigon's black market in recent years...
