...that of the police, got word of Little Bruce's defection and of reports that James might also testify against him. On Aug. 15, James phoned Great-Aunt Sarah to say that his father had told him not to appear before the grand jury. "I'll be gone for a couple of days," he said. That was the last heard from James until his body was found...
...famous schools, the shocks have been cushioned somewhat by hefty endowments and hordes of solicitable alumni. "It's not as if 100 Princetons have closed," notes Vanderbilt Chancellor Alexander Heard, referring to the schools that have gone down the drain in the past several years. In gravest danger are the small, unselective liberal arts schools: with tiny endowments and few Government research grants, they lean on tuition for 80% or more of their revenue. Unfortunately for them, that prop will soon begin to wobble. With the great postwar baby boom petering out, the number of 18-year-olds...
...antique-filled office in Los Angeles' Century City is an oversized, backlighted color transparency of a Botticelli Venus.

Only one item-long-distance phone calls-has declined. (In many cities, of course, the cost of person-to-person and collect calls has risen substantially...
...closer watch on their older workers. Paradoxically, they may warn, demote or even talk into early retirement a 63-year-old, say, who is slipping. In the past, an employer could close his eyes to that worker's failing performance in the knowledge that the worker would be gone in two years anyway. Now, says Frank D. Sweeten, vice president of Sperry Rand, "that two years becomes seven years, and we have to take a harder look at performance." Some employers would like to transfer to less demanding jobs those good workers who are slowing down, but are concerned...
