There is nothing inevitable about this flood. Certain HSA activities encroach; others do not; and it would be pointless to insist that the entire agency is a sweeping, irresistible evil. (The article below is part of an attempt to illustrate this). The trouble is simply that the University refuses to trim offending activities down to their proper size. No doubt the fact that the HSA Director wears extra hats in the student employment office and in Administration committees has something to do with Harvard's passivity, but it certainly cannot completely explain who the Administration apparently never subjects...
...sooner than Adenauer had intended to announce the news, a longtime associate let it be known that the Chancellor is seriously considering running for the ceremonial office of President in 1964 to guarantee continuity of policy-and also to buy himself another year as Chancellor. Nobody, after all. would insist that he vacate the chancellorship in 1963 if he intends to move over to the presidency in 1964. Adenauer is still fighting to keep Economics Minister Ludwig Erhard from becoming his successor; he considers Erhard too weak and indecisive to be Chancellor...
...appeal to sophistication is that made by needle-sharp President William Bernbach of Manhattan's Doyle Dane Bernbach, who has wowed the ad industry with his grain-of-salt Volkswagen ads playing up qualities that would normally be considered shortcomings ("Think small").

The major factor in making Duluth's Chun King Corp. a nationally known enterprise has been the zany commercials for the company's prepared Chinese food written by Hollywood's Stan Freberg and yodeled...
Because of the worldwide oil glut and Iraq's shortage of skilled technicians, some Western oilmen insist that Kassem's venture is foredoomed to failure. But unlike Iran's Mossadegh. Kassem has prudently allowed the foreign oil company to continue production, thus assuring himself of a continuing income while he dickers for help in getting his own company on its feet. And help may not be hard to find. The Soviet Union might aid Kassem simply for political advantage. And in Rome sits hawk-faced Enrico Mattei, boss of Italy's state petroleum monopoly, who delights...
...Rome. But Anglicans and many Protestants regard only the first four councils-Nicaea (325), Constantinople (381), Ephesus (431) and Chalcedon (451)-as ecumenical; Orthodox churches accept the ecumenicity of three more-the Second of Nicaea (787), the Second (553) and Third (680) of Constantinople. All the others, non-Catholics insist, are simple regional councils of the Latin church...
