...first students to gallop out of the labs and libes for the annual monkey-see, monkey-do monkeyshines were the fair sons of John Harvard. Seems some sycamores along Cambridge's Memorial Drive were due for the ax (TIME, Feb. 14), and before anyone could bellow "Rinehart!" 2,000 undergraduate tree lovers rushed to the defense. "Two, four, six, eight, sycamores foliate," chanted the Cantabs fiercely. Then the crowd decided to block traffic instead. That brought the cops, who brought four dogs, which brought indignant cries of "Cambridge, Cambridge" (Md., not Mass.). A few yips and nips later...
...Kiting. The market has given the bulls many strong points to bellow about. April, with an average of 5.6 million shares traded every day, was the third most active month in Big Board history (behind June 1933 and October 1929).

When it was 1,300 miles downrange and 375 miles north of Antigua Island, the triumphant announcement came: Saturn had reached orbiting speed. The new satellite weighs...
...oddest graduate school in the U.S. is a far-out arm of the University of Chicago called the Committee on Social Thought. Physically, it is a dingy office under the eaves of the social science building. Its faculty, which includes Novelist Saul Bellow and Political Scientist Hannah Arendt, numbers only eleven. But its goal is as big as the world. While other graduate schools atomize knowledge, this one aims toward "a unification of knowledge and a revealing of the human being as a whole...
...handle such versatility, the faculty itself is a sort of vest-pocket university. Friedrich Hayek, the non-Keynesian economist, was a longtime regular. Hannah Arendt, a recent catch, is a famed expert on totalitarianism. Novelist Bellow is there, he says, because of his "interest in social questions. I like to keep in touch...
