There was "no reason" for the Government Department to approach Kissinger since "the general assumption was that he would not be interested in a full-time position," Hoffman said yesterday...
...Third World, and the Americas. This perspective falls easy prey to the misconception that Black history began on American shores in 1607 in the chains of slavery. Do Afro-Americans have no frame of reference other than North America and the European heritage? Hasn't this "Americo-centered" approach been the same scholastic argument that has been used to stifle Blacks' awareness of their place in the world...
...plan divides the country into 14 regions, with a representative from each Class in each area. Alumni are therefore contacted by a member of their own class, adding a more personal element to the drive. Peter F. Clifton '49, executive director of the Fund, says the new approach has proved very successful. Last year the Fund raised $5.45 million, exceeding both 1975's total of $4.85 million and its goal of $5.25 million. Clifton says this year's drive is "in pretty good shape--we're already $500,000 ahead of last year...

The Sun was a paper aimed at high-minded Labor Party supporters then, but Murdoch imported his Sydney-tested approach, and circulation picked up. He shocked many Britons, for example, by rehashing the randy memoirs of Call Girl Christine Keeler in his News of the World. Private Eye, a London satirical magazine, labeled him the "Dirty Digger."* Talk Show Host David Frost dragged him onto TV one evening and publicly belabored...
