...equality or sex-blindness, separation of the two colleges on the basis of sex seemed archaic. It was supposed that common sense demanded the colleges be merged and the last vestiges of differential treatment for undergraduate men and women be ended. No longer would the Radcliffe student have to depend on that favorite fellow in Eliot House for a sent at the Yale game: now she would have a coupon book of her own. Some thought liberation had truly arrived...
...terms of the proposed settlement, the U.S. would continue supplying South Viet Nam with nearly all of its defense needs, including aircraft, tanks and guns. True, some war suppliers, mostly manufacturers of bomb casings and small-arms ordnance, will lose substantial business. As many as 100,000 jobs are dependent upon the current war effort. But except for the Government, the employers of such workers tend to be small, localized firms that have a limited impact on the total economy. Few big companies depend upon Viet Nam for as much as 1% of their revenues...

Whether Nunn, a farmer, lawyer, state legislator and ex-basketball star from middle Georgia, can succeed may depend partly on the popularity of Richard Nixon among traditional rural Democrats and on a well-mounted G.O.P. campaign...
Kennecott's action has shaken other developing nations, which grudgingly depend on big foreign firms to develop their resources. Later this month mining ministers of Peru, Zambia and Zaire (formerly the Belgian Congo) will meet in Santiago to discuss with Chilean officials how best to counter Kennecott's thrust. The court battle could hardly have come at a worse time for Chile, which gets about 70% of its foreign currency from copper sales. The country is already boiling with political and social unrest, and teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. Obviously, Kennecott's offensive is likely...
