Teddy bears kid stuff? Not so, says Peter Bull in his book, Bear with Me, published in England. Give a Teddy to an impressionable child, and the bear has a place in the child's effects and affections for life. Bull, a character actor whose own family of Teddies numbers 14, presents ample and arresting testimony to the fact that he is no oddity but merely one of thousands of thoroughly grown-up people, all dedicated "arctophilists"-friends of the bear...
...stated goal of Sweden's National Trade Union Confederation, or Lands-organisation, is "to give due consideration to the effect of wage developments on the national economy." Sweden's powerful LO represents one worker in every two, and Denmark's LO also has every second worker as a member; Norway's encompasses a third of all breadwinners.

...judgment is that their views will tend to become less influential over a period of time than if they have been appointed to the task, by the President, on the basis of an informal agreement between the two institutions. However, my judgment may be mistaken. If M.I.T. decides to give full weight to the opinions of individual Harvard members who sit on a Policy Board which it has established unilaterally, the results could be identical to those obtained by having the Harvard members appointed by Mr. Pusey in accord with an inter-institutional understanding. In that event, then, the decision...
