...Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals handed down its ruling in the case of The Campus Echo, the student newspaper of North Carolina Central University (NCCU), which editorially opposed the increasing flow of white students into the predominantly black, state-supported university in Durham...
...date set by the Pentagon as the beginning of the American phase of the Viet Nam War-Jan. 1,1961-was chosen arbitrarily for bookkeeping purposes. It was ten years after U.S. financial aid began to flow to the South Vietnamese, more than two years after the first American advisers were killed, 3½ years before the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution and four years before the Marines landed at Danang.

...struggle to remain solvent. Backers have thus far plowed about $17 million into the privately held company, and more capital is now needed if the magazines and other divisions are to continue in their present form.

Like that of his colleagues, Green's research is motivated by a belief that human beings can assume responsibility...
...take advantage of a bargain prime rate. "We are being inundated with business loans," says John R. Bunting, chairman of Philadelphia's First Pennsylvania Banking & Trust Co., one of the prime-rate raisers. "Too much of our money is going to our prime-rate customers, restricting the flow to our other customers," such as small businesses and individuals seeking personal loans. There are even stories about corporations borrowing as much as they can at the prime rate and then lending some of the money back to the banks at higher rates...
