Established in 1947 by the legislation that also created the Defense Department and the Central Intelligence Agency, the NSC-was designed to integrate military, diplomatic and economic policies. Harry Truman did little to develop the NSC, but under Eisenhower it became an important force and acquired two subordinate branches, a planning board and an operations-coordinating board. Critics of the system charged that the NSC structure amounted to an obstructive bureaucracy. The Kennedy Administration did away with the subsidiary boards and operated on a more informal basis, with McGeorge Bundy running the White House's "little State Department." Lyndon...
...RACES. The nation's racial problems "are now hampering its clear vision in dealing with the rest of the world," contended Writer Harold Cruse (The Crisis of the Negro Intellectual). Black Power, said Cruse, is a necessary step on the way to eventual integration; the Negro must develop his own identity before he can successfully join U.S. society as an equal. Cruse described Black Power as "a belated attempt to get an economic and political share of the American pie," but insisted that it is uniquely American and unrelated to European theories of class struggle.

...problem is not mismanagement but the fact that the center did not develop quite in the way its founders had in mind. The great artistic companies it houses-the Metropolitan Opera, the New York Philharmonic, the New York City Ballet-are independent operations that have a cooperative tenant-landlord relationship with the center itself.

"Some people say he is all technique and no music," says Itzhak Perlman, "but I say he shows you the way to produce the sound you need. Then he inspires you to have your own ideas." He approaches each student like one of the chess problems he is so good at, and he tailors each solution to individual talents and temperaments. And the students all agree that he is gentle...
...over Sāo Paulo last week. Brazil's sixth national automobile show was in full swing in the city's exhibition hall at Parque Ibirapuera, and auto manufacturers were making the most of their opportunity to trumpet that in one decade Brazil has managed to develop a viable motor industry. As recently as the 1950s, Brazil spent $140 million a year to import autos; last year, because of increased domestic production and higher tariffs, imports amounted to $3,000,000. This year the country's carmakers will turn out 270,000 cars and trucks, show sales...
