...appetizer: Truite de Rivière en Gelée à la Muguette. In the ballroom, a team of theater directors and producers rehearsed spotlighting cues for introduction of guests until 6:30 a.m. Monday. Last-minute acceptances and cancellations kept the seating plan in a state of flux until just before the dinner began. But when the 1,668 guests finally filed into the Grand Ballroom, most tables were arranged to mix cover subjects, special guests, a TIME host, and all their spouses. Despite all the planning, there were inevitable mistakes and failures. Considerable confusion marked efforts...
Unvarnished is hardly the word for Andrew T. Weil's extensive layman's guide to the Harvard Crimson. Although he most certainly is correct to say the Crimson is in flux, I question that he stands far enough from the maelstrom to forecast the flood's direction. And even if he were right about the passing of a golden age into something more serious and plodding, I am not so sure it would last.

Windswept Job. Bell was reluctant to move from the familiar, congenial Budget Bureau to the stormswept Agency for International Development. Foreign aid is unpopular with the public and with Congress; morale at AID is badly eroded, and basic concepts of foreign aid are in flux (TIME, Nov. 23). The administrative lines at AID are so snarled up after repeated reorganizations that Lawyer Hamilton, despite extensive personnel changes, was unable to get it operating effectively during his year in the job. He also lost prestige when Congress slashed the foreign aid budget a lot more heavily than usual. Hamilton...
