...contrast between the two men goes considerably beyond personality. In his 18 years as secretary-general, Visser 't Hooft was interested more in theological questions than day-to-day administration. Blake, the former Stated Clerk of the United Presbyterian Church, sees his duties as primarily pastoral. To give young church dissidents a greater sense of participation in council affairs, he recently invited 75 staff members to a two-day get-together near Montreux. Told they could speak their minds freely, they proceeded to tear apart everything from the way the council organizes its assemblies to the management...
AFRO-AMERICAN and African Studies are two very different fields. The former is a new field and for the immediate future will remain primarily concerned with issues of definition, content, and expansion. By contrast, African Studies is an established field within general regional studies, and it should surprise no one that Harvard has a long and distinguished history in this branch of learning. In fact, in the years 1910 to 1915 Harvard pioneered African Studies in the United States; furthermore the University has remained a very active participant since that time...
...Contrast the Fordham experience with the vicious attacks at Boston University which caused this year's freshman enrollment in Army ROTC to drop 58 per cent, one of the largest losses in the nation.

Celebration is intimate and beguiling and it has a distinctive personality rather than a powerhouse complex. It is one of those good things that come in small packages...
...especially threatening to young, healthy adults. In most epidemics, only the aged, the infirm or the ailing young develop pneumonia as a result of direct infection of the lungs with flu virus. Others may develop a "secondary" bacterial pneumonia because their systems have been weakened by flu. By contrast, this winter more young men and women have gone rapidly from influenza to influenzal pneumonia. Some victims get out of bed after about with the flu only to be hit by a second round. According to Dr. H. Bruce Dull, the NCDC's assistant director, most of the fault...
