...Today Cornell is the Ivy League's most complex campus. Endowment is up to $150 million; next year's budget is $110 million, more than half from the state and federal governments. With 15 academic units, from a top-drawer liberal arts college to an open-door cow college, Cornell can teach its 11,823 students (one-third girls) anything from archaeology to pomology to sculpture to meat cutting...
...shoes are said to be waterproof and scuff-resistant and are supposed to keep a permanent shine. Both Du Pont's and Arnav's new material has the advantage of coming in uniform, easy-to-handle rolls instead of in awkward pieces shaped like a cow.

Like the cow, U.S. jewelers know how it feels to swallow Timex. At first they opposed carrying Timex's low-cost, low-profit watches, but Timex is now the nation's fastest-selling timepiece. Since the first Timex was sold twelve years ago, Americans have bought 50 million of them and U.S. Time has become the world's largest watchmaker (1962 sales...
