Tightening Alliances. For all the chronic talk among U.S. allies about neutralism, fear of Communist prowess, weakness of frail economies, inability to make sacrifices, U.S. allies as well as the U.S. have "an equal interest" in withstanding Communism in all-out or limited war. It is therefore in the equal interest of the U.S. and U.S. allies to 1) pool scientific and technical resources and brainpower, 2) tighten allied interdependence in command, 3) keep U.S. forces deployed in NATO's airpower and ground-power shield, 4) provide willing European allies with nuclear weapons and delivery systems-controlled by Europeans...

Sample studies of incomes of families and spending patterns also point to capacity to pay full costs for a substantial proportion of college students. In fact, payments of costs would require an additional...
March. Seventy-three per cent of the next freshman class (Class of '62) will be graduates of private preparatory schools. The Committee on Admissions will deny any bias. They will announce, "We have nothing against wonks, other things being equal." An enraged Joseph Kennedy (John's father) will confirm reports that he is going to "buy Harvard College for my boys." Rev. Buttrick will urge President Pusey to go gold hunting in South America to strengthen Harvard's financial position. Rev. Buttrick will offer to accompany the President and allow him to use his new gold-divining rod. Ex-Dean...
