...Russians still spend billions of dollars annually in furthering the Communist cause abroad. The bulk of the money goes for arms for North Viet Nam and oil for Cuba, which are items that advance Soviet diplomatic aims. The U.S.S.R. until recently supplied one-fifth of the Italian party's $10 million budget, helps the Indians financially, subsidizes the illegal party of West Germany and supports the Latin American parties. Danish Communist leaders get three free suits a year made in East Germany, and some parties get a rake-off on whatever trade or tourism their countries do with the Soviet...
...Israelis maintain that the fedayeen have not managed to penetrate deeply and in strength, nor have they been able to win over the bulk of the 944,000 Arabs living on the Israeli-occupied West Bank and in the Gaza Strip. Good intelligence and highly sophisticated, hard-hitting defense tactics stop most guerrilla activity on the perimeter of the Israeli heartland. Harsh retaliation by frequent air and artillery and occasional ground strikes has pushed fedayeen bases away from the 1967 borders. Sabotage and terrorism have dwindled in recent months. The Gaza Strip, that beehive of Palestine nationalism, is as quiet...

A slight and soft-spoken man offscreen, he manages to give himself bulk and ferocity as a man driven up the walls of el barrio by the conflict of pride and circumstance. As a comedian, he clambers over the film to reach the top rank of American performers. Barking like a watchdog to frighten off apartment thieves, or purifying English curses into harmless Spanish, Arkin transforms slapstick into exuberant social comment...
What this means, in short, is that Harvard is only spending about one-third of the income from its endowment. The bulk of the income is reinvested, or more precisely, remains invested in the form of unregistered capital gains. Why is the Corporation so stingy wiht its money, while students fees are having such a dramatic effect on the makeup of the student body...
...Corporation sets the example by not distributing the bulk of the income from the endowment, but each department follows suit by cautiously not spending all of the income allotted to it. The Faculty as Arts and Sciences, for example -- although the hardest hit by the financial squeeze from the top -- has still managed to save a little. It has a fund for unexpended income amounting now to $3.2 million. And during the last ten years it has only had two in the red; the rest delivered a quite comfortable margin...
