...wake of Richard Nixon's election, speculation inevitably focused on the impact that his narrow victory would have on his ability to govern. Lacking a popular majority, or even a respectable edge over Hubert Humphrey, would he be hamstrung by an opposition Congress and hounded by his always numerous critics? The answer is likely to be: not for a while. After a year of crises and threats of more to come, the nation and the world seem eager for a respite. Moreover, the U.S. has long had a tradition of forbearance toward a new President: a willingness...
...involved in a discussion which should have a significant impact on our community. There is basic agreement among HUC members concerning those broad concepts endorsed Monday night, which thus far include 1) popular election of student representatives, 2) a student review board for each department to assist in tenure decisions, 3) student participation on faculty-administration committees only when assured of the right to participate in the decision itself, and 4) student-Senior Common Room participation in the nomination of Masters.

But Yellow Submarine doesn't all work and what's wrong is perhaps more elusive...
...impact of imports on the nation's overall balance of payments has been eased by a rise in foreign investment in the U.S. During the first seven months of the year, foreigners not only poured $1.2 billion into the U.S. stock market but also bought $1 billion more of U.S. corporate bonds than they sold. Among exports, chemicals and transportation equipment (notably jet aircraft) have increased substantially, and recently foreign orders for durable goods have picked up. The threat of a mid-December dock strike has prompted many U.S. exporters to ship early. For the longer run, Washington is counting...
