...Trustees--whose number fluctuates between 38 and 40 each year--oversee Radcliffe's $16.7 million budget. That's one immediate difference between Harvard and Radcliffe--the Harvard Corporation handles a $300 million budget and $1.4 billion endowment. "You're dealing with an awful lot more zeroes on your numbers at Harvard," Francis H. Burr '35, who is the only Corporation member who also sits on Radcliffe's board, says...
However, many still associate the art programs here with Radcliffe because Radcliffe pays for the majority of the programs' expenses out of its annual budget. The rest of the funding comes out of President Bok's discretionary fund. Mayman says that Radcliffe pays for most of the programs because of "tradition." "There are some programs that were specifically developed by Radcliffe and Harvard doesn't want to pay for them or have anything to do with them," Mayman says. "Radcliffe developed the pottery studio and will continue to pay for it." The programs that Bok pays for are those that...

Nowadays the commonest statistics about the world and the nation-from the megatonnages of the SALT debate to the dollars of the defense budget-tend to defeat the ordinary imagination. The world population is supposedly 4.2 billion. The nation's 3.N.P. is running at about $2.39 trillion. Washington debates whether defense spending will increase to as much as $122 billion (see cover story for an idea of the realities underlying the number). In truth, far smaller figures can overtax ordinary people, many of whom, after all, have trouble fathoming the weather service's temperature-humidity index...
