...kind of case which the Board takes very seriously, and is one of the few crimes which the Board explicitly insists upon reviewing. But many members say that the Board has become more lenient even in these cases over the last few years. Before, whenever there was even a hint of plagairism, a boy would be fired immediately, while now, if he is a freshman, considerations such as whether he knew what he was doing are often taken into account. A great deal depends on whether the plagiarism was intentional and the length of the plagiarized passage. But Weinberg insists...
There was a time in Japanese history when the merest hint of personal dishonor would set a samurai to sharpening his hara-kari sword. Not so in postwar Japan, where the old concept of face has taken on a new pragmatic wrinkle. Last week Premier Eisaku Sato, 65, whose Liberal Democratic government lies wreathed in a "black mist" of Cabinet-level scandal (TIME, Nov. 4) went on television and told a nationwide audience: "It is regrettable that my administration and party have invited public distrust for lack of moral standards.

Wind & Surf. Barrow is luckier than some of his West Indian neighbors in at least one respect: there is no hint of any interest in Communism among the Bajans, who are 98% literate and exhibit an easygoing gentility.

The real blow, though, was his fund-raising gala, featuring Maria Callas. It sold only 30% of the 4,100 seats in the State Fair Music Hall. On the following night, the company opened with an excellent performance of Rossini's L'Italiana in Algeri-and got much the same...
...before Fairchild's precipitous downturn, the Argus Research Corp. reported gloomily on the future of electronics stocks to 75 brokers and institutional investors. Not only were shares overpriced, but Argus reported that there was a hint of over-inventory. Advancing technology had cut the cost of making microcircuits, but the savings had not yet been passed along to customers; for weeks there had been suspicions of an impending price slash, which presumably would be reflected in lower earnings. Morning after the Argus report, a big mutual fund, with its own pessimistic conclusions about Fairchild, offered a block...
