...about four African states have recognized Biafra and France has made gestures that have enhanced Biafra's dignity as a nation." He added that the Biafrians' situation was similar to the Isrealis. Both countries are heavily intellectual groups set upon by less educated peoples who have superior numbers. "To borrow a phrase, the highly-civilized have been bombed back into living in caves," Mayer added. He pointed to the Biafrans' skill in setting up petroleum distilleries from scratch. "They are very inventive, and experiment constantly to find out how best to use their resources...

If a writer has to rob his mother, he will not hesitate; the 'Ode on a Grecian Urn' is worth any number of old ladies." It is an attitude shared by all who have discovered just how difficult it is to write one superlative poem and what bitter battles must be waged to keep poetry vital and relevant in an age when so much...

The board raised from 5¼% to 5½% the rate at which bankers themselves can borrow from the Federal Reserve. But it made no change in the 6¼% ceiling on the interest that banks are allowed to pay on large time deposits, which account for about $23 billion in U.S. banks. As money rates in the open market spurted above 6¼%, New York City banks alone lost almost $1 billion in such funds as corporate treasurers took advantage...
