...return, the University agreed to maintain the Department of Military Science "as an integral academic and administrative department of the institution," and to provide to this Department, free of cost, whatever classrooms, office equipment and storage space it might need. Harvard also agreed to grant "appropriate academic credit," applicable toward graduation, for Army ROTC courses...
...skyjacked planes and passengers after no more than an overnight delay. The airlines and electronics firms are working on weapons-detection systems to spot armed passengers during boarding. One company has developed a device that it claims can distinguish a gun or knife from other metal objects, at a cost of under $1,000 per installation. While each skyjacking costs an airline around $8,500, the carriers are reluctant to spend the amount necessary to search each passenger on every plane that might conceivably be skyjacked...
...ready to go before the auctioneer in New York. While conventional mink skins average about $35 apiece, fur experts figure that the new pelts will sell for as much as $2,000 each. This means that the first mable coats, made up of some 50 skins, will cost $150,000 or more. Piampiano hopes that his partners will produce 35,000 pelts in 1970 and eventually reach 100,000 pelts annually-hardly a dent in the 7,000,000 mink skins on the U.S. market last year, but enough to bring the price per coat down to a less incredible...
...genuinely pluralistic society, then its goal is not to assimilate minorities, but to let them?within reason?live together, each in its own way. The Jews have had practice in this. The black is just beginning the course, and it is unfortunate that part of the cost of his tuition must be paid by Jewish tolerance. But so long as U.S. society repudiates the anti-Semitic hostility of the black and prevents it from bursting into open, physical violence, the Jew is in no real danger...
...paid appropriate premiums. MEA will also collect $1,500,000 for each of two destroyed Caravelles that were really worth about $900,000 apiece, and more than the market value for one lost Viscount. The new Boeing 707 is expected to bring $8,500,000, roughly what it cost. The eighth gutted plane, a VC-10, was on charter from Ghana Airways, and MEA is not responsible for its loss...
