Also, since most well-prepared applicants come from either prep schools or bette than average suburban high schools, the presently broad socio-economic base of the College would contract. "Harvard would be cutting itself off," said Bender, "from a group we've worked hard...
Corned Beef & Congolese. Besides bombarding Belgian officials and missionaries with letters threatening them with death unless they clear out, the Congolese have begun quarreling among themselves. Last week, at the Kitona paratroop base, 180 men were wounded, after a band of Bakongo tribesmen threw up picket lines to keep non-Bakongo workers away from their jobs. In Moanda, where the" Abako Party has been accusing chiefs of selling out depinda (independence) for a million Congolese francs, at least one chief's house has been burned to the ground, and tension runs so high that Belgian youngsters...
...made a specialty of winning one-run games with deeds of derring-do (the White Sox 35 out of 50; the Dodgers 33 out of 55).

Another key reason for the Soviet growth-about 8% a year, v. 4% for the U.S., since World War II-is that the Soviets have neglected the consumer needs of their citizens. But now a major change is on the way, and the growth rate is on the wane. Going out is crude coercion of the worker; coming in is personal incentive. This shift, says Nove, requires a major diversion of Soviet resources to the nongrowth sectors that...
