...With an array of 1,200 courses taught by a first-rate faculty (full-and part-time) of 570, G.S. has grown to become a third undergraduate branch of Columbia, along with the men's college and Barnard for girls. As evidence of its solid status, the school last month moved into its own home for the first time in its 60-year history, with completion of a $1,000,000 renovation on the old School of Mines building, now called Lewisohn Hall...
...according to U.S. estimates, only 1,500 to 2,000 Russians will be left in Cuba compared with some 30,000 troops and technicians in 1962. U.S. intelligence is convinced that the Russians have indeed removed all their nuclear ballistic missiles. But the Russians have left behind an impressive array of "defensive" hardware: battalions of tanks, hundreds of mobile nonnuclear FROGs (free-rocket-overground) with a 30-mile range, about 60 supersonic MIG-21 jet fighters and more than 100 antiaircraft SAM rockets. Ready to step in at the 25 SAM sites around the island are Cuban crews, who have...
...wooed. The materials that went into a house were dictated mostly by what was most readily available, whether it was lumber, brick or stone; without question, the plumbing was galvanized pipe, the floors wood, the foundation concrete.

...very thin layer of a dye that darkens rapidly when exposed to ultraviolet light. The resulting picture has no "grain." Images of Bible pages projected in ultraviolet were reduced by lenses and focused one by one on the dye. After each exposure the film was moved mechanically to array the tiny pages in close-packed rows. This miracle of miniaturization, which makes the traditional Lord's Prayer engraved on a pinhead seem downright brobdingnagian, can cram 1,000,000 book pages on a stack of 3-in. by 5-in. index cards about 4 in. high. It could pack...
...President was the picture of ease. His biggest news concerned a "very comprehensive" study of the U.S. draft system and military manpower policy which he had ordered. The outcome, he said, might indicate the possibility of ending the draft within a decade. Again, he rattled off a dizzying array of statistics, including some to show how a nationwide rail strike would put a disastrous crimp in the economy. And there were a few more words about his political plans: "I have tried to be President of all the people," Johnson said. "I'm going to try to stay...
