With the aid of a $4.4 million grant from the Ford Foundation, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences is going to expand its program to award students a Ph.D. in four or five years, depending on the field. For the next three years, one out of every four entering graduate students in the humanities and social sciences will receive a Graduate Prize Fellowship -- a four or five-year grant which commits the student to a well-structured Ph.D. plan. He will be required to complete his oral examination by the end of his second year, and he will...
When the need for reruns runs out, Ampex may be busier than ever. At the National Association of Broadcasters convention in Chicago last week, Ampex engineers showed off new gear that promises to greatly expand the versatility of television.

Stern threw a welcoming blast for Twiggy when she arrived in the U.S. with plans to expand her minifashion career by peddling some $1,000,000 worth of her clothes in department stores across the nation and picking up an occasional $120 per hour as a model. At a loss to explain why anyone would pay that much to take her picture, Twiggy said objectively...
...plum in sight to replace North American's rich NASA contract for Apollo Moon Project hardware, worth $676 million in fiscal 1966 alone. To cushion a potential slide in Government business, which could push total sales down as much as 15% this year, Atwood began making plans to expand "into the commercial and industrial sector." At one point, he made a strong but unsuccessful bid for Douglas Aircraft...
