Nominations poured in, not only from the bureaus but also from writers and editors in the New York office, each making a case for his favorite. Magnuson found himself with 150 candidates. This list was painfully pared down to 74 and inscribed on a wall chart that showed the nominee's name, age, college, subject taught, teaching style, and the name of the correspondent who had attended his class. Then, thanks to the guidance of faculty deans, foundation experts, specialists from the U.S. Office of Education and students, the list was halved to 37, and finally reduced...
...fifths of the quarterly gain came not from real rises in production but from rises in prices. Though the G.N.P. increased by 2.5%, the gain in terms of constant, noninflated dollars was 1.5%, or just slightly more than the quarterly average for the past two years (see chart). A major reason for the rise was that defense spending jumped by $3 billion, or about 20% more than had been anticipated. Federal economists also had hoped that the $6 billion social security tax boost, which went into effect on Jan. 1, would cut consumer spending. Instead, such spending surged...
...House seems to have its favorite kind of secretary. The four kinds of secretary that Miss Hill outlined fill all kinds of jobs in the University. None of them, not even mainstays like Mrs. Robinson, really runs the University, but the University not run without them. Only they can chart Harvard's course on its sea of paper work.

Yet the dispassionate eyes and ears of electronic journalism did help bring into focus the complex and contrasting personalities of those who chart U.S. policy and those who challenge it. On that score, at least, the hearings' anti-Administration sponsors last week could only regret the cameras' unblinking presence. For, unlike the previous week, when the committee's star witnesses-retired General James Gavin and Sovietologist George F. Kennan-were convinced...
...budget is not exactly a bestseller; the Government disposes of only about 3,300 copies, at $1.50 each. The 1967 budget's 449-page bulk, backed up by an imposing appendix of 1,308 pages, is a thick forest of charts, tables and almost totally unrelieved print. Few Americans bother to penetrate this forest-and that is something of a shame. For those who do venture into it, the budget is rich in impressive landmarks, bizarre growths, hidden surprises, hints of the future and enough tantalizing trivia to dine out on for a year. "Budgets," says George Mahon, chairman...
