Macalester's scholarships are in the second category. They are sponsored by the Reader's Digest Foundation, which picks its winners only from finalists who want to go to Macalester. In N.M.S.'s seven-year history, all of the Digest Foundation's 86 scholarships have been for Macalester. In some years, half of all winners in Minnesota have thus chosen Macalester. This year only one of Macalester's 20 winners is un-Digested-a Minnesota lad who crept in on an IBM scholarship...
Life is becoming mechanical, Leary complained. He likened nutrition to "a game in which robots digest food," sex to "a game in which two rubber dolls sleep with each other...

The new postal rates would add some $535,000 to their combined postal bill. Atlantic Monthly Publisher Donald Snyder has estimated that his magazine's share alone would be $91,000-more than seven times Atlantic's 1961 profit before taxes...
Even the big magazine publishing houses would suffer severely. The postal bill of Philadelphia's beleaguered and money-losing Curtis Publishing Co., already embarked on a drastic cost-cutting program (TIME, March 30), would rise by $6,500,000 a year, to $21.5 million. The Reader's Digest (circ. 13.5 million) has estimated that the proposed rate increases would push its annual mail costs up 28%, to $16.2 million; TIME INC.'S postage payments would rise $7,500,000 a year, to $25.5 million...
