...aftermath of World War II, the international casualty list read like a global roll call. Europe was an economic ruin; Russia was still reeling; Japan was shattered; China and Southeast Asia were torn by revolution. By comparison, the U.S. seemed a privileged party indeed. It boasted 40% of the world's income and a burgeoning economy. It was as rich as ever in natural resources, its population was growing, and it had an enormous output of food. It also had incredible military muscle; it possessed the world's only nuclear weapons...
...least for the present, the HUC can't escape comparison with the more effective HPC. Dean Ford has set up a committee of House Masters and HUC members to study parietals, and hopefully come up with "the same kind of advice the HPC was able to give on pass-fail." And Dean Glimp would like to see the HUC do an HPC-style audit of the Office of Graduate and Career Plans...
...walruses in the area, and to guard against the possibility of radioactive particles in products destined for human consumption. A Greenland hunter has been assigned to hunt for seal and walrus specimens; they will be examined for radioactivity by scientists who will later obtain more specimens for a comparison that will determine if animal life is gradually picking up radioactive contamination. Other Danish scientists will trace the possible route of contamination once the midsummer thaw starts and water from the melting ice begins flowing into Baffin...
...Several airlines were shut down by a costly machinists' strike in 1966, and as a result, their 1967 performances looked good by comparison. At TWA, net income climbed from $33,371,000 to $40,658,000 on sales of $1.02 billion. Eastern's profits went from $14,713,000 to $24,114,000. Despite the apparent improvement, though, most airlines are suffering because of huge outlays for new planes, rising labor costs and the low profitability of their myriad fare-discount plans...
...movie, though, belongs to 24-year-old Carol White, another émigré from TV. She invites inevitable comparison with Julie Christie; Producer Janni "discovered" both of them, and there is a notable physical resemblance. Miss White's range as an actress remains to be tested, but the gamut she runs here is already fairly long-slob and sexpot, worried mother and girl in love. She is totally convincing as a woman who can find a bit of fun and some fatuous hope by riding with the punches-whether they come from Fate or some other...
