Before long, if other income can be found for impoverished hunters, Canada may turn the St. Lawrence Gulf into a seal sanctuary. Even the grizzled swilers should be relieved. They do not particularly enjoy the annual bloodbath themselves. Newfoundlanders have odd names for almost everything; a spring storm is "Sheila's brush," strong tea is "switchel" and floating ice is variously described as "growlers," "bergy hits" and "dumpers." But where biologists clinically refer to female seals as cows, the craggy Newfoundlanders never do. To them, they are always "mothers...
Under Hannah, M.S.U. has grown from a sleepy agricultural college of 6,390 students into a 5,000-acre "meg-aversity" with an enrollment of 42,541 and an annual budget of more than $100 million.

Dr. Mead argued that primitive societies barely perceived change; a child repeated almost exactly the lives of his parents. In more advanced societies, which changed faster, children often abandoned their parents' ways and modeled their behavior on teachers or heroes. Now, however, the kind of change fostered by technology has removed even those models. Youths today, she argued, are like children of wilderness pioneers-the first natives in a new world. "For the first time in human history," she said...
...Matter of Honor. The row was started by a contract offer that included wage increases averaging 81%, holiday bonuses and a guaranteed annual wage in return for no wildcat strikes. Leaders from all 16 Ford unions approved, and the committee's chairman called the deal "bold and imaginative." Similar sentiments were voiced by Barbara Castle, Minister of Employment and Productivity, who has been pressing for a major labor reform, chiefly through sharp restrictions on wildcat strikes (TIME...
