...series of dazzling acquisitions to build a conglomerate that topped $468 million in sales last year. And this year "the Ling Dynasty," as L-T-V is sometimes called, has loomed even larger. In March a surprise Ling tender offer hauled Chicago's Wilson & Co. into the fold. Early this month, Ling announced a plan to take over Greatamerica Corp., the Dallas-based bank, insurance and airline (Braniff) combine controlled by his longtime ally, Troy Post. If Ling could take Allis-Chalmers in hand L-T-V bid fair to quickly become a $3 billion company...
Militancy-within Bounds. When the big dailies began to cover civil rights in earnest a few years back, some journalists thought Negro papers would have to fold. Instead, 39 new Negro weeklies and semiweeklies have been started in the past 2? years, bringing the total number of papers to 171. Many are making a profit.

This does not necessarily mean that other papers may soon fold. Wags about town are pointing out, however, that the Record-American has made public no plans for a new printing plant although its current plant, a Victorian monstrosity, is slated for destruction in an urban renewal project...
Crooks sees a "three-fold mission" for the Summer School, actually a kind of mission civilatrice for Harvard. First, he says, is the obligation of a university--any university--to be at work as much as possible: "Why shut down this magnificant plant all summer long?" Then there is Harvard's special role as one of the few liberal arts summer schools in the New England region, serving students who could not otherwise go to summer school. And finally there is the desirability of "people from all over the world having at least one Harvard experience...
