Harvard College's calm, mature Martin S. Feldstein, 21, was named by his 1,000 classmates to deliver the serious commencement oration this week. At his Long Island public high school, Feldstein ranked fifth in the class, scored in the "low 700s" on his College Board exams, and had no Harvard-alumni ties. Harvard not only spotted his promise but also helped him get a full four-year General Motors scholarship when his father, a lawyer-accountant, died in 1957. Feldstein focused on math, economics and premedical courses, got a prize for straight A's in his sophomore...
Elston's unshakable calm and concentration make him the most successful relief pitcher in the National League. But the frequency with which he works takes its toll.

Yet for all the U.S. conservative's traditional preoccupation with the dangers of debt, news of the new record was received with monumental calm by that eminently conservative body, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce...
...reason for the Chamber's calm is its conclusion, reported in a 42-page analysis of U.S. debt, that in fundamental economic terms, "we do not appear to be more 'in debt' now than at other times in our recent past." Total debt in the U.S. has more than doubled since 1946-but so has the gross national product, whose parallel growth has kept the relationship of total debt to national production about the same. For those who think the Government is the spendthrift, the growth figures contain some surprises. Since World War II, personal and corporate...
