...managed to make himself noticed. As the chief Gaullist spokesman in the National Assembly, he has proved a masterly orator, demolishing the opposition by a mixture of hard economic facts with wit and elegant phraseology. Twice this year he has displayed these same rhetorical talents on long TV interview programs, has made state visits to Austria and India and soon will journey to Iran. And every two weeks he invites the most important Gaullist Deputies to his office at the Hotel Matignon for strategy sessions, laying the foundation for the day when they will possibly be his to command...
Though it is strictly a local television channel, station KQED had the imagination and daring to begin a 13-interview series with Longshoreman-Philosopher Eric Hoffer five years before CBS discovered him. This fall KQED became the first U.S. station since 1960 to shoot a documentary inside Castro's Cuba.

Then there was the channel's Where's Jim Crow?, a weekly segment rooting out covert discrimination in the area. And, for a change...

Mackey, one of the few Harvard mathematicians who has never accepted any regular government support, said that "even then the form under which support was given compromised, to me, the freedom and independence provided by the traditional academic approach to research...
Richard G. Leahy, Harvard's co-ordinator for government relations and director of the laboratories of the Division of Engineering and Applied Physics, brought up another point against effort-reporting in a recent interview. "I feel that, because of the cost-sharing provision, effort-reporting has affected people who have just circumstantially become involved," he said. Mathematicians, for instance, who, for the most part, receive their government funds from the National Science Foundation, must file effort reports, since the NSF issues grants--as opposed to contracts--and therefore requires cost-sharing by the University. Harvard's share becomes a portion...
Many student applicants express dismay either with the recruiter or with the methods he uses in promoting his company. In a controlled post-interview rating session at the University of Michigan, students tended to give a low rating to interviews in which (1) the recruiter was too much of a machine, working by rote; (2) he wasted the student's time by not being businesslike...
