Nathan Keyfitz, Andelot Professor of Sociology and Demography and one of the six new Harvard members, said yesterday he had not yet been notified of his election to the Academy. Keyfitz has done extensive research on the mathematics and social problems of population growth...
...gulping cars. Pechman concedes that the plan will add "moderately" to the inflation rate, but contends that somewhat higher prices are part of the cost the nation must pay to resolve its "most serious problem." The program should have little or no impact on economic growth, Pechman asserts. Harvard University's Otto Eckstein also believes the plan is workable. If enacted by Congress, he says, the package would add no more than seven-tenths of one percentage point to living costs between now and 1980. Automakers would be hurt, but not disastrously.

The book swiftly became the standard by which competing histories were measured. Now, just as an abridged and updated version of the Morison-Commager classic appears, there comes a new contender: The Great Republic, written by six scholars-five of them winners of Pulitzer or Bancroft prizes. Their work is handsomely amplified with hundreds of black-and-white and duotone photographs, paintings and detailed maps, and interspersed with pictorial essays in sumptuous color...
