MacGregor, in fact, is fond of quoting from a 1970 conversation with Nixon during which the President cited a need for a higher "E.Q."-enthusiasm quotient.

...time I get to sleep, I think constantly about sex and death." In this he is not too dissimilar from the rest of humankind.

Yale's long-term loan program--announced last Fall--provides for the repayment of indebtedness as a percentage of income over a 35-year period. The basis of the program is an attempt to have those who most benefit financially from their education bear the lion's share of the cost. Yale's plan does not utilize Federal subsidies...
