Pamela Batchelor, a June high school graduate in suburban Mountain Lakes, N.J., speaks for a growing number of U.S. students. Pam will spend the fall backpacking in Europe. As U.S. colleges open this autumn with a record enrollment of more than 8,000,000, several thousand young people with the brains to get in and the money for tuition will be missing. They are rebelling at the very idea of attending college at all-at least, as they see it, until they can figure out what the courses have to do with their own feelings and aims. Even among...
Farm income this year will probably not rise above the 1970 level and could come in slightly below it. Any dip in prices for livestock, which accounts for about 60% of farm earnings, has a widespread effect. Thus the payments farmers receive for the rich autumn bounty will be partially offset by relatively meager prices for hogs, poultry and eggs in the first half of the year. To nudge farmers into growing more corn as a hedge against blight, the Department of Agriculture discontinued some support payments for unused acreage. All together, the move will snip Government payments to farmers...
Ever since 1928, when General Motors first introduced yearly style changes, Sloan's Law has been reaffirmed at every annual new model preview. But this year, the tradition of a new style every autumn is being ignored by both the biggest and the smallest of Detroit's automakers-G.M. and American Motors. They are postponing cosmetics to concentrate on Government demands for safety and engineering improvements, many of which are only in the design stage. Shock-absorbing bumpers, for example, will be required by law in 1973; passenger safety restraints that will work automatically in a collision...
...more or less, at one time or another. It was a splendid trip for the under-25s, but their elders retired almost unanimously into pantsuits, or simply brazened it out in the Little Black Dress that has reigned as the basic classic for more than a generation. Now, as autumn clothes fill department store racks, the classic look seems to be newly fashionable...
...States. While there is abundant evidence of Soviet pressure, there is no immediate sign that Moscow is planning an invasion. Moreover, while the Czechoslovaks declared in advance that they would not resist a Warsaw Pact invasion, the Yugoslavs have made it clear that they would fight. They have scheduled autumn maneuvers of their own in the rugged mountains of Bosnia-Herzegovina. The war games, the biggest since 1945, will stress cooperation between newly organized guerrilla bands and the regular army. The Yugoslavs are especially anxious about the possibility of a new outbreak of fighting in the Middle East. They fear...
