...holds a Ph.D. in demography from New York University, to try out the scheme on a nationwide basis in September. The Health Ministry is negotiating with such large firms as Lipton, Imperial Tobacco, Hindustan Lever, Union Carbide, and Tata Oil Mills Co. to handle distribution. The companies do not expect enormous profits from the birth control sideline, but they see it as a useful demonstration of cooperation between government and private enterprise. By enlisting the companies, New Delhi will have up to a million retail outlets at its disposal...
...today it is $11,265. Harvard, which paid its top professors no more than $12,000 in 1947, will offer $28,000 next year; its 548 full professors average $20,000. And teachers take it for granted that the average will go even higher. "The senior faculty members expect a review of their salaries every year," complains Harvard's Arts and Sciences Dean Franklin Ford. "No one seems to remember back in the '30s, when it was every four or five years." Also on the rise are college payrolls for nonteaching services. At Kalamazoo College, for example, janitorial...
...Brewster admits that unlike most Yale presidents, he does not want to keep the post until retirement age. "To stay ten years-give or take half of that-would be bad for the institution and bad for me," he says. He does not discuss his political aims, but few expect him to aim lower than a Senate seat. In mocking reference to both his ambitions and his stylish mode of dress -mod-striped shirts handmade in Hong Kong, J. Press suits, occasionally even a black opera cape-Yale wits have dubbed him "Kingwad Tweed," claim that he wants...
...improvement was especially welcome, since the downturn that had been hurting Detroit seemed not to affect imports. In fact, sales of foreign-made autos are running 14% ahead of last year, when a record 658,000 imports were sold in the U.S., and foreign automakers now expect to sell better than 700,000 cars by year's end. The likelihood of an import record is even more remarkable since Volkswagen, though still accounting for well over half of all imports, is selling no more cars in the U.S. than it did last year...
...Israel manage to win so big so quickly? Much of the answer can be found in the almost incredible lack of Arab planning, coordination and communications. Despite their swift defeat in 1956, this time the Arabs seemed to expect a long, leisurely war of attrition. Though two squadrons of Algerian MIG-21s arrived, they were a fatal 24 hours too late because Egyptian commanders had failed to instruct them which airbase to head for. In retrospect, it might have been even worse if they had arrived in time for the Israeli raids. Five planeloads of Moroccan troops actually...
