Evaluations made by staff and alumni are used more than the reports of teachers and principals, because the admissions committee knows who its interviewers are, and can take their tastes and idiosyncrasies into account. But secondary school reports may provide the crucial fodder for a hunch, Peterson says, "especially if the writer avoids cliches...
...rights of Kennedy and the other witnesses. In either case, the public, which is presumably a court to which every politician must appeal, would be denied an open and formal explanation. Kennedy might have gone ahead with the Edgartown inquest, risking rumors on the record in order to account for his conduct clearly once and for all. Now he has for a time formalized his silence and only postponed his day of reckoning with the public-a day that must surely come if he intends to remain in public life...

Bankers will now have to pay an "exceptional" tax on profits, based on their increased earnings from checking-account deposits. Industries that depend on imports-which are more costly after devaluation-will be allowed to raise their prices only 0.6% this year and 1.25% in 1970. Any further increases will have to be announced a month in advance and negotiated with the government...
