Federally supported scientific research at U.S. universities is another area of major impact on education. Heretofore, $2 billion a year in Government research grants-two-thirds of the total research money spent by U.S. colleges and universities-served mainly to bolster the schools that were already at the top. Half of all such grants, in fact, has been going to only 20 universities.* Now President Johnson has decided to spread the treasure around. He recently directed all federal agencies to look for new deserving schools that can use the grants as a means of developing facilities and faculties. "We want...
Though it was possible to question the lasting impact of Paul's peacemaking address, it was impossible to deny that his mission was an unmistakable land mark in history, another great personal triumph for the Pope. Perhaps the most lasting effect of the pilgrimage would be what theologians might call a "demythologizing" of the papacy.

Birthday, says the well-spoken former farmer, should express the hope offered by even the most forlorn birth. Giant plastic arrows express resurrection, even if with a tainted blatancy; the plastic bubble above the mannequin mother's mouth, actually a dimestore baby's plastic bubble, symbolizes a scream. It is theater, embalmed in translucent epoxy and cluttered with props-a ghostly coat...
