...something else was MEDICO, the CARE-sponsored health organization that helps develop clinics in underdeveloped countries. Berman met Humphrey in 1954 when he was called to testify on public health problems before a Senate subcommittee, of which the then Minnesota Senator was a member. Impressed with his presentation, Humphrey asked him to dinner. The two became close friends. A modern art buff with an impressive collection of De Koonings, Pollocks and Rothkos, Berman enjoys explaining his paintings to the Vice President, who likes abstract art but admits that he does not understand it. In 1965, when Berman was between careers...
...even today he is not published in full). There were the writers of the '20s who at a very early stage denounced the birth of the personality cult and the characteristic traits of Stalin. But they were annihilated, they were stifled, instead of being listened to. Literature cannot develop between the categories "permitted" and "not permitted." Literature that does not breathe the same air as contemporary society, that cannot communicate to it its pains and fears, that cannot give warning in time against moral and social dangers, does not deserve the name of literature.

House courses are a major step toward decentralized instruction, and except for the system of residential tutors, Harvard has long resisted that concept. Last year both faculty and student committees at Yale recommended that the colleges (the Yale equivalent of Harvard houses) take the lead in developing new curriculum.

...trouble with ALG, as it is abbreviated, is that transplant patients apparently can never be weaned of it, and some cannot tolerate it for more than a few weeks or months. They develop severe allergic reactions to it. Besides, said Medawar, "ALG is conceptually an archaic substance. Injecting horse-serum derivatives into human beings violates our sense of the fitness of things." It was Medawar's work in the early 1950s, which explained why some skin grafts in mice are rejected and others not, that laid the foundation for all today's transplant surgery. And now the transplant...
...m.p.h.), delta-wing Anglo-French Concorde, a rival SST entry, is scheduled to make its first test flight this fall and start commercial service in mid-1971, five years earlier than the B-2707. Boeing's best hope at this stage is that if no more serious kinks develop, it may be able to accelerate its timetable. That way, at best, it could prevent the Concorde from getting an irreversible head start on the SST's global market...
