Soviet Switch. The first public inkling of Castro's split with Peking came on the eve of last month's Tri-Conti-nental Solidarity Conference in Havana, where 612 assorted "revolutionists" gathered for twelve days to map plans for upheaval in Africa, Asia and Latin America. On the surface, it seemed that Red China, with its "wars of national liberation," would command the most support among the hotheaded delegates.

This is a vital and valuable service to the four-year schools. Most of their dropouts, averaging 10% (but ranging as high as 19%, depend ing mainly on the thoroughness of their preadmission screen ing), are in the first two years. The result: vacancies in the upper classes, with only 90 M.D.s graduated...
