...resulting tensions come out looking like a religious conflict. In fact, the conflict is ideological, not religious. The political status quo in Africa, like that in any other part of the world, requires religious legitimation. If the churches threaten to withhold it, one or both of two things happen. Either the more out-spoken church leaders are removed (sometimes by assassination, as in the case of Archbishop Luwum of Uganda) or the political system actively encourages the coming to prominence of a traditional religious cult, such as in Kenya in 1969, Chad in 1974, Equitorial Guinea in 1976, and Madagascar...
...ortho-k's supporters acknowledge that there is little hard scientific evidence to support some of the claims made for it. The best results seem to be in correcting young myopics. Patients are usually treated with a standard contact lens worn for up to 16 hours a day. Either through pressure or undetermined factors-the cause is still disputed -the cornea does seem to flatten out. After about six weeks the cornea's new curvature is measured, and new contact lenses prescribed, usually with a flatter curve. During the therapy, which can last two years and cost...
Carter's plans could scarcely be called either a drastic or a comprehensive program. Cartoonists already are comparing Carter's anti-inflation approach to Gerald Ford's ineffective WIN (for Whip Inflation Now) program - an overly ballyhooed melange of tax recommendations and pleas for restraint in buying that was quickly scuttled because of the deepening recession.

Ever since it was set up by Gerald Ford in 1974, COWPS has been something of a no-account backwater in the Washington bureaucracy. Its role is limited by law to watching the wage and price activities of industry and the spending programs of Government. When either area shows signs of adding to inflation, COWPS can do little more than send a memo to the White House and hope that someone will read it. Under Bosworth, the council's formal powers remain negligible but the new director has infused COWPS with a sense of urgency it never had before...
...letter sent to undergraduates, the authors say that even though you disagree strongly with some part of the document, it is best to look at it as a whole. Yet in this constitution, the most fundamental principle has been abused. I cannot support this kind of oppressive document either in terms of practicality or principle, and I think any clear-headed individual regardless of race or origin must feel the same way. I would rather see no student government at all than a government which is an embarassment to common intelligence and morality. Andy Berger...
