...that the Government offered to sell them, and their purchases are expected to be lower this year. At a meeting with American officials in Vienna last month, the Soviet Union's chief negotiator, Boris Gordeyev, refused to commit to any new grain orders.

Says Heimert: "The most important need is a single...

...Dartmouth Review, founded in 1980, is a sophomoric brand of macho humor. An essay in its Oct. 18 issue spoke scornfully of a "never-never land where men are women and women are persons." The same issue contained a mock memo berating student homosexuals: "Wasn't the closet more comfortable than the trash bag? You guys could suffocate." Contends Editor in Chief E.
