...lost last week in the Sea of Japan [April 25], we deeply mourn their deaths and ache with sorrow for their families. But we are angered and appalled, too, at the apparent contentment on the part of the American people to accept this loss with "cool" and "reserve," euphemisms for disinterest and apathy...

By Wednesday noon, the faculty was ready to reconsider its decision. In a complete reversal of the original ballot...

Says Economist Arnold Chase, assistant commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics: "Prices tend to coast up even after the economy has begun to cool off. There has been no fuel added to the fire for several months." Several special circumstances, moreover, contributed to the March price increases. One was the fact that high interest rates were suddenly included in the figure for home ownership costs. Prices for used cars, which swung downward temporarily last year...
