...General Education program originally superseded a distribution scheme dictated by just this kind of logic. The Faculty apparently felt then that a Harvard education should impart more than a specialist's insights, that a student should be asked to step back from departmental studies and examine a broad area of knowledge from an interdepartmental viewpoint. Much of the Redbook philosophy has since been called into question, but the value of good General Education courses seems as great today as it did then. The Faculty reaffirmed the Gen Ed requirement by a two-on-one vote last spring and we hope...
Secretary of State Dean Rusk spent a night at the ranch, discussed with the President a broad spectrum of foreign relations ranging from the situation in Indonesia to the upcoming visit of German Chancellor Ludwig Erhard.

Gary started the tournament by sinking a 10-ft. putt for an eagle on the par-five, 493-yd. first hole. Five birdies, a par and two more birdies gave him a fantastic 28- nine under...
...founded in 1877 in boom town Leadville, Colo., by Grandfather David May, who turned from unsuccessful silver prospecting to selling other miners their overalls and red woolen underwear. Spreading east and west as far as Washington and Los Angeles, the store has traditionally allowed local managers broad autonomy. Mrs. Auerbach will join May's board, continue to run her own store until she retires, calling on May's central buying office only when she wants...
