...flights, especially against the Third World. They claim that his tactics only force the more moderate Third World delegates into a face-saving solidarity with their more radical colleagues. In effect, they argue, Moynihan ignores the famous Kennedy dictum, "Don't get mad, get even"; instead of venting his anger, he should be pressing for practical results...
Thursday's article on the CHUL housing debate, while narrowly accurate, fails to enlighten the Harvard community about the real depth of anger among Quad residents over the threatened destruction of their Houses. In the first two days of reading period, a hastily-organized petition drive gained the signatures of 732 Quad residents--about 90% of those present--in favor of 1:1 and four-class housing.

If nothing else, the slump demonstrated how dependent the developing economies still are on the prosperity of the First World. When the industrialized West's consumption of LDC raw materials dropped, so did the price of many commodities. The world price of copper, for example, has plummeted from $1.52 per Ib. in mid-1974 to 53? today. To cover deficits caused by the loss of sales to the West and the increase in imported oil prices, many developing countries have had to borrow heavily. Their total...
