...reason is that, despite its need to develop educational and agricultural resources, Northern Rhodesia is inherently richer than its two neighbors-thanks to fabulous copper reserves that net $336 million a year. A more important cause for optimism is Kenneth Kaunda himself. A teetotaling preacher's son and ex-schoolteacher, Kaunda, 40, is a fiery nationalist who has spent his share of time in British prisons. But he has since convinced his former masters that he has the makings of a moderate African statesman in the mold of Tanganyika's Nyerere. Kaunda advocates a "multiracial society" that will...
...needs a series of at least three lectures if you're going to say anything constructive," Theodore K. Rabb, assistant professor of History, said last night. "Presumably next year, the lecturer can really develop a theme." Rabb himself will lecture on the Renaissance, Reformation, and the 17th century...
Many other companies try to copy A.T.&T.'s training and rating program, but they cannot copy the advantage that bigness gives to Bell. A.T.&T. has so many operating companies, divisions and branch offices that it has plenty of demanding and responsible jobs in which to develop and store up executive talent. Men with the stamp of success on them are groomed for high management positions as much as 30 years in advance. Some of the young executives are interviewed every year by one or more of A.T.&T.'s 20 staff psychologists, who plumb their changing...

Defense Department experts predicted that the U.S.S.R. could have some 400 long-range missiles by mid-1963, while the U.S. would have only about half that number. This was the so-called "missile gap," which became a 1960 presidential campaign issue. To help plug the anticipated gap, the U.S. deployed 1,500-mile Thor and Jupiter missiles in Europe, then gambled heavily on Polaris and Minuteman. Since their solid...
...program, supplementing Venezuela's annual $1.3 billion budget, is Leoni's way of "consolidating and widening" the economic boom that began in 1962 under Rómulo Betancourt. Leoni will use the money to develop the country's interior, stimulate more private enterprise and relieve unemployment (still running 13.7%) by creating 20,000 new jobs. Some 90% of the funds will go toward increasing Venezuela's productive capacity and developing its "basic social capital," meaning everything from electric power to new schools. The other 10% will go for public health and for shoring up debt-plagued...
