Stratford's three yards are concentrated within a 30-mile radius, in keeping with Gow's belief in concentrated locations, and they feed a total of 150,000 head. (By December Gow plans to expand to 250,000.) The yards fatten a 650-lb. steer at the rate of 3.1 lbs. per day. Five months and some 490 lbs. later, the steer is shipped off to a packer. "It's a big operation," Gow says. "We have vets and nutritionists; the cattle are checked...
While other installations shrink or disappear, the San Diego Navy Base will expand. It will become in fact the largest U.S. Navy port, reflecting the Pentagon's decision to locate on the Pacific Coast the nation's prime naval facilities.

The recommendation to build offshore ports will provoke the opposition of legislators and Governors from East Coast states, who fear that oil spills will ruin their shorelines and wetlands...
While it is interesting that Emory edged out Harvard last year, it is not especially significant, Rufus W. Peebles Jr. '61, associate director of the Harvard College Fund, said yesterday. He noted that Emory used $25 million, or 55 per cent of its $46 million, to expand university-owned hospital facilities, leaving Emory only $21 million to apply to strictly educational purposes...
