...stimulation the student receives in glimpsing broader fields and interrelations will undoubtedly bring him more eagerly back to those departments with approaches and knowledge which seem most likely to provide answers or extend insight. In the elective courses all, or nearly all, departmentally taught, the zeal of departments for teaching in their own disciplines may be unbridled upon a voluntary, no longer captive audience. In this setting depth and detail will quickly be learned...
...book is obviously aimed at a broader market than the one now domnated by the five-year-old Webster's Third New Interna tional Dictionary, which sells for $47.50, the 13-volume Oxford English Dictionary, which was last updated in 1933 and costs $300, and the $47.50 Funk & Wagnalls New Standard Dictionary of the English Language, mainly unchanged since 1913. Random House has a bigger, cleaner type face, includes names of notable places and people in its regular alphabetical word list, throws in such usable extras as a 64-page world atlas and a list of major dates.

...facilities will be linked directly with Harvard's (the new John F. Kennedy School of Government and the Institute will probably be housed in the same building). The Institute's program will not have to stand by itself. It will be able to lean upon and support Harvard's broader effort, while simultaneously reaping the benefits of the huge segment of the University's activity that will now be shifted to the Library site.

...broader alliance of nine nations, ranging from New Zealand to Japan, recently formed the Asian and Pacific Council (ASPAC) for closer cooperation. Nineteen Asian and Pacific nations joined together in December 1965 to participate in the $1 billion Asian Development Bank. Japan and South Korea, ending more than half a century of hostility, last June signed an accord under which Japan will provide $800 million for Korean modernization. Indonesia's new regime last week returned to the United Nations Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East (ECAFE) -another form of Asian togetherness...
...Broader View. Remarkably, the school that could transform Mississippi is now being transformed itself. In 1962 it took a federal army to get Negro James Meredith into the university; in 1966 the law school's 368 students include nine Negroes-more than can be found at almost any non-Negro law school in the U.S. As classes convened last week, the 21-man faculty also included eight recent graduates of Yankee Yale. The Ole Miss Yalies-along with many another surprise-were brought there by the law school's dean, Joshua Morse III, 43, once a country lawyer...
