Concerned that U.S. colleges and universities may not be healthy enough to handle the challenges of the next dec ade, the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education last week prescribed some preventive medicine. What is needed, said the commission, is nothing less than a $10 billion annual increase in federal spending, plus the creation of 550 new colleges. Without that expensive and expansive dose, the 14-man committee of educators and businessmen reported, the U.S. will fall far short of meeting a vital need for more and better higher education for more and more students of all income groups...
Amidst the mounting unease in the Nixon camp, the candidate was one of the few who appeared confident, if visibly strained in the end. Part of it, perhaps, was the politician's façade.

The Rockefeller-Lindsay relationship has not been harmonious, the latest discord occurring, paradoxically, because Lindsay has been boosting Rockefeller's candidacy and because one of Lindsay's aides is prominent in a draft-Rockefeller group. Such efforts erode Rockefeller's façade of noncandidacy at a time when the Governor prefers to remain committed, at least in public, to George Romney. Lindsay's refusal to cooperate hurts Rockefeller's credibility, and to whatever extent that the New York Governor's national prospects suffer, Lindsay's may prosper. Last...
