...joined up. "Conservatism," he wrote, "is receiving almost equal billing with liberal writers who have for so long dominated the editorial pages of our country's newspapers." He even had a kind word for certain liberals. "I have a strong feeling that a new liberal philosophy will grow in this country based more upon the thinking of men like Daniel Moynihan and Max Lerner...
Texas-Size Growth. Even established public multiversities are building in frantic fashion. The University of California (current enrollment: 95,320, which will grow to 140,000 by 1975) adds 8,000 students a year-the equivalent of Yale's student body. At its crowded, overgrown Berkeley campus, steelworkers clinging to an open I beam are as much a part of the Sproul Plaza scene as are the hippie protesters. Texas-size is the right phrase for that state's major public university, which has spread to ten campuses in seven cities with 52,631 students, 1,500 teachers...
Often, the 36th President called to mind the Duke of Kent's lament for King Lear: "A good man's fortune may grow out at heels."

In fact, the enterprise has become successful enough to attract the attention of Texas' Democratic Representative Wright Patman, whose House sub-committee on foundations has been investigating the whole field for more than five years...
...twice as fast as runner-up electric utilities. In the year just ended, the airlines outdid themselves. Operating revenues rose 23% to $7 billion, and traffic gained 25% to 100 billion revenue passenger miles (the number of paying passengers multiplied by the distance flown). Yet the faster the airlines grow, the more they must strain for funds to finance tomorrow. Pan American World Airways last week obtained $180 million through 25-year notes placed with 50 institutional investors; at the same time, United Air Lines arranged to borrow $200 million from eight life-insurance companies until 1990; two weeks...
