...south ern-Florida groves, the current crop will surpass last season's 100 million boxes (100 lbs. each) by 42 million. When the nine-month harvest ends in June, nearly 10 million boxes may be left to rot unsold. Oranges "on the tree" cost 75? a box to grow and last year brought a handsome $1.25. They are now going at a distress price of 35? a box, leaving growers with the prospect of a $50 million loss on the crop...
Though Americans delight in newness, their interest in antiques continues to grow. One indication is that attendance at Manhattan's blue-ribbon, ten-day 1967 Winter Antiques Show, which opened last week, has doubled in the past decade and is expected to reach 30,000 this year. Another sign is inflation; prices in the past year have commonly risen 5% even greater if more people felt confident that they could distinguish fine pieces from fakes. Unfortunately, the amateur shopping at a seaside "gifte shoppe" is all too likely to wind up paying $50 for a $10 copy...
...question of where, for example, in Widener, place can be found for those who will wish to use them.

They were desolated when blue jeans became acceptable attire at Old Nassau's eating clubs, and they were appalled two weeks ago when state cops broke up a ring of marijuana-smoking undergraduates. But not everything at Princeton has gone to pot. Last week Princeton's basketball team caged Harvard 90-46 for its twelfth victory in 13 games - and became the first Ivy League squad...
...simply one more addition to the collection of general, and generally boring, essays on the search for "cultural identity." "We have no common ethnic, territorial or cultural past, as other nations have." Or, we are told, "Men need to recover their roots; not to sink into, but to grow out of." But Berman does not long remain at the level of banal declarations. He moves quickly through both his introductory remarks and the Jewish Museum; the major portion of his essay presents the fascinating, and often well-expressed, impact of the exhibit on Berman himself: "I felt the First Generation...
