...made Church World Service by far the most popular and best-funded ($9 million a year) program of the National Council of Churches. This fall C.W.S. is for the first time soliciting gifts from the general public via ads on 20 TV stations and in Reader's Digest...
...summer seller that people are still reading and discussing is a slim nonbook titled The Best. Compiled by two Columbia professors, Peter Passell and Leonard Ross, The Best is neither the Reader's Digest version of The Best and the Brightest nor a capsule Social Register. The Best is, at bottom-which is just three-quarters of an inch from the top-a shallow smattering of opinion and data based on a surfeit of snobbism and a poverty of research. The professors treat their audience like a class of life's freshmen. They offer no criteria, arbitrarily choosing...

Also on his list are TIME, Newsweek and U.S. News and World Report...

Though computers can solve extraordinarily complex problems with incredible speed, the information they digest is fed to them by such slow, cumbersome tools as typewriter keyboards or punched tapes. It is for this reason that scientists have long been tantalized by the possibility of opening up a more direct link between human and electronic brains...
