Your "Greenbacks Under the Gun" [Aug. 28] was almost a true account of our disastrous situation. Your list of things the U.S. "could do" is an exercise in futility. Buy up dollars aggressively with what? More I.O.U.s? More Treasury debt certificates? Freshly printed greenbacks? Sell our gold? What will that do but ruin the price of gold without even touching our foreign and domestic deficits? Sure, sell at the market and we could pay the foreign deficits for a couple of years, and then what? What pol would vote to raise interest rates far enough to put us into...
...count, 134 projects have been launched with Moscow's help, among them metallurgical plants, engineering facilities and a trans-Iranian trunk gas pipeline. Last March the Soviets built a new blast furnace at Isfahan; new smelting and rolling mills will follow soon. All told, these projects are claimed to account for the production of 90% of all coal in Iran, almost 90% of the iron ore and 70% of the steel...

The experiment was a hit with many of the chapters concerned. But not, alas, with the 4,500 delegates who attended the Jaycees convention in Atlantic City, N.J., last June. They voted 3 to 1 to ban women, and newly elected Jaycees President Barry Kennedy...
...among roommates, all is fair. Brag about your exploits, academic, athletic, or sexual, depending on what will work best. If you didn't get the single, make sure you get your roommate to agree to switch at some equitable point. Afterwards, go to a bank and open a checking account. Look for a bank that offers free checking. Then, wander around the Yard, and get hopelessly lost at least once...
