Remaining Small. Under retiring President Detlev ("Del") W. Bronk, 70, the research center became a university as well. To inject "the vitality of youth that students bring," Physiologist Bronk set up a small graduate school in 1954, a year after he became president; in 1965 he had Rockefeller retitled from an institute to a university. Resisting the expansionist impulse, Bronk has insisted that R.U. remain small in order to concentrate on "areas where we can really excel." As a result, R.U. "appoints" no more than 30 new students a year out of the 170 candidates recommended for admission by scholars...
Seizing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to inject new life into the city core, San Antonio has dredged out a short waterway linking the fair to the San Antonio River and threaded the 92.6-acre HemisFair site itself with a network of canals. It has refurbished its heritage by restoring 24 fine 19th century Victorian houses on the fairgrounds, and the area adjacent bristles with new construction, including the 445-room Hilton Palacio Del Rio, which overlooks HemisFair from the bank of the San Antonio River...
...Colombia, the Texaco-Gulf project is a chance to inject much-needed income into the economy while easing its dependence on coffee, which currently accounts for 60% of the country's export earnings. For the two companies, which decline to estimate the total value of the Putumayo find, the project may initiate a far-ranging cooperative exploratory effort. Texaco and Gulf have already staked a claim on 5,000,000 acres in neighboring Ecuador, where last spring they discovered a rich oil field. Geologists, moreover, venture that the Colombia-Ecuador finds are only the beginning, and that much more...
Swinging Group. As with all grand designs, execution is far more difficult than enunciation. The necessity to check spending, for instance, will inhibit proposals for expensive new federal activities. But some White House aides believe that there are other ways to inject new interest into the old Great Society pitch. Instead of merely claiming credit for previous accomplishments and promising more of the same, Johnson, they believe, should point up his campaign with the "incremental approach." This prescribes the setting of firm goals, timetables and priorities-for instance, the fractional reduction of pollutants in the air by a certain date...
...general pattern, says the California report, is for the user to inject methedrine into a vein about every two hours around the clock. He stays awake continuously for three to six days-sometimes as long as twelve days. Appetite for food is suppressed completely during this time, and there is a compulsion for constant action. At first this activity is purposeful, say the researchers, but as the "run" progresses, it becomes ever more disorganized. The taker himself, others note, becomes increasingly agitated, often shaking, quivering, working his mouth incoherently...
