...poorly served by integration. As predominantly white institutions have opened their doors to Negroes, many of the black schools' most promising applicants have been lured away. Major institutions have also undercut those schools by snapping up top black teachers and administrators. As first steps toward reversing this downward trend, the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education last week recommended that black colleges should remain black, upgrade their courses, and double their enrollment, perhaps as soon...
...must be plotting a major offensive that would endanger U.S. lives. As a result, many longtime critics have come around to the view that perhaps the Nixon strategy is the only safe approach.

Although the landing will still be essentially under computer direction, Shepard will probably take over the vertical controls at an altitude of 300 ft. The actual touchdown, in a flat region between small features called Triplet and Doublet craters, should take place at 4:16 a.m. E.S.T. Friday...
