...Harvard Alumni Bulletin is an animal apart from the pack. It is the only alumni magazine in the country that survives on its own advertising and subscription revenue, and by financially divorcing itself from the University, the Bulletin has separated itself from the necessity of telling a tedious official story.

In September, public-housing starts topped private housing 18,000 to 14,900. By the second half of 1967, predicts the London and Cambridge Economic Bulletin, public capital spending will exceed private capital investment, $3.70 billion to $3.65 billion, thus giving nationalized industry predominance in the British economy for the first time. The decline of demand, employment and profits has eroded investor confidence. Prices on the London stock exchange fell to 1966 lows last week, down...
