...fewer than six involve liners that crashed on approach to an airport. That is a considerably higher figure than the world wide incidence rate of 47%, and it has caused fresh alarm on the part of air safety experts about the adequacy of instrument-landing equipment at U.S. airports. Bad weather-or weather that required instrument landings-was a factor in at least four of the six approach crashes, and safety experts point out that less than a third of the nation's 623 commercial airports have full instrument-landing systems...
...Roman Catholics, a dozen Negroes and three Jews. Jews stand out sharply in the nation's intellectual life, and Jewish novelists are beginning to overtake the fertile Wasp talent. Scarcely a single Wasp is a culture hero to today's youth; more likely he is the bad guy on the TV program, where names like Jones and Brown have replaced the Giovannis and O'Shaughnessys. The banker who made Skull and Bones is no model for undergraduates, writes Sociologist Nathan Glazer in FORTUNE. "Indeed, often the snobberies run the other way-the white Anglo-Saxon Protestant, generally...

Recalling his earlier years, he says: "People had fun because they wanted to. Present-day playboys play for the public. Values today are of very bad quality.

...blind student is draft exempt." According to Hal, it is not so easy for a blind person to get into law school. Many of the schools where he was interviewed were quite discouraging about the prospects of his getting in and getting along there. He had a particularly bad interview at Duke: "You mean to tell me you're really that blind?" the Duke interviewer asked. When Hal inquired as to the ease of getting around, the answer was "It's very difficult." And when asked about readers, the interviewer said that Duke had no facilities whatever for recruiting readers...
There is no such imperative. Principles have to be applied in real situations. Rostow is a bad man and one should not have compunctions about making an exception to a generally valid principle in his case. Which is not to say that students would necessarily take to the streets every time someone who had spent time in Washington proposed to return. If Kissinger makes another Vietnam, students will presumably protest his re-appointment to Harvard. One has to wait and see what happens each time. No unconditional guarantee of principle can be assumed...
