Predicting Peace. Individual projects include the expected in civil engineering: the design of 20-story buildings at M.I.T., where, before the computer, students labored over plans for two-story structures. A music student at Carnegie Tech composed a musical score by computer; after its performance by a chamber-music society, critics called it "flat but interesting." Art students at Harvard create modern abstractions by using a computer to scan a conventional scene, then program it to delete parts of the picture. Two M.I.T. political science students fed 300 variables from two dozen small wars into computers to predict the outcome...

The band had been canceled, and in its place was a performance with two pianos that were out of tune with each other, a soprano who bent her notes off pitch, and a chamber ensemble that blatted, swooped and squeaked like an ordinary orchestra warming up. At first it all sounded merely crabbed and comic, but soon it also took on the astringent freshness of a brave new musical vocabulary. It was a group of the Syracuse music faculty in a concert of quarter...
Last week, with the city's Negroes threatening to stage a mass demonstration against the papers, the whites decided that they had had their fill of Glass. To every household in Lynchburg went an open letter signed by 71 leading white citizens, including the presidents of the Chamber of Commerce, Lynchburg College and Randolph-Macon Woman's College...
