...many points of view, or at least shadings, among American Jews as to what, precisely, Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin should be doing to bring about a Middle East settlement. Consensus on anything is hard to come by, except for the obvious fundamental that Israel has the right to exist as an independent Jewish state in peace with its Arab neighbors.

...versatile little devices are some of the nation's largest electronics and computer firms- IBM, Motorola and Texas Instruments, where Computer Scientist Jack Kilby pioneered in developing the integrated circuit, the predecessor of the chip. Also included are a host of brash upstarts that did not even exist ten years ago (see box). Last year's chip sales of $235 million, while still modest compared with the revenues of the entire computer industry, are expected to grow by a startling 50% annually and exceed $800 million by as early as 1981. Behind this remarkable rise are the incredible...

...everyone knows contains the key to the fate of general education. Although the dedicated student members of the CUE and the Educational Research Group (ERG) surely have only the interests of their fellow students at heart, these representatives will find it somewhat difficult to gauge opinions that do not exist. The lack of such opinions can be largely attributed to the fact that campus reporters are barred from the CUE and the ERG meetings, and that the core curriculum report remains hidden from public sight. Decisions are being made, major issues are being discussed, but only a handful of people...
