Radcliffe girls now ride to the hounds at the Millwood Hunt Club in Concord. Before a Cliffie is allowed to ride out she must have trained with the Radcliffe riding program, get the approval of the instructor, and pay $160. This is considered a bargain as "Tom Cabot probably spends $1000 a season." Miss Paget said. The money pays for membership in the Club (for others, $150 a season) the normal ten-dollar capping fee (paid to the club everytime you hunt), trucking a mount to the hunt's starting point, and renting a horse...
...branch dramatizes the fact that the line between discounters and department stores is getting blurred. Not only are there more suburban-style discount stores in downtown areas, but conventional department stores continue to open branches in the suburbs. Many old-line retailers have also drawn on their familiarity with bargain-basement merchandising to open "budget stores"; in Columbus next year, Ohio-based Federated Department Stores will branch out with its first two Gold Circle discount houses. Like other department stores, Detroit's J. L. Hudson Co. meets cut-rate competition with a we-won't-be-undersold policy...

Appropriately enough, they thus call themselves "the 13? killers." In the past eight months, the 90-odd snipers of the 1st Marine Division have recorded over 450 confirmed kills, against four dead of their own-an astonishing kill ratio of better than...
...Ambassador Goldberg implores Hanoi to negotiate and expresses dismay that the enemy prefers to suffer destruction rather than come to the negotiating table [Sept. 29]. It seems reasonable that they should do so. Negotiation means to bargain, to compromise and to be flexible in the resolution of a contentious issue. It is a voluntary and peaceful proceeding. Therefore, negotiation cannot be entered into while the war is ongoing. Violence seeks surrender, not negotiation. To ask for negotiation while continuing the violence is a contradiction in terms; it is a counterfeit proposal...
