...Discrimination in Fraternities ordered in 1962 that local fraternities either eliminate the discriminatory clause from their national charters within a "reasonable time" or withdraw from the national organizations. The Brown chapter of Sigma Nu, whose national charter contains discriminatory provisions, became independent voluntarily last week. Phi Delta Theta will follow suit in December...

He was certainly the most influential chairman in CEA history, and probably had the presidential ear as exclusively as any other single economist in U.S. history. It was Heller who, over the initial objections of Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon, successfully argued President Kennedy into backing a tax cut.

Only two states, California and New York, follow master plans for higher education. Planning for public and secondary schools is equally incoherent. A "classic example" is Indiana, where the state superintendent of schools is elected on a partisan political ballot and staffs the agency on the spoils system...
