...admissions office. When an important component of the student body drops 25 per cent in size the University, not undergraduates, is to be blamed. Ironically, admissions had engineered a 100 per cent increase in the number of black enrollees when there were very few black undergraduates around to lend assistance with recruiting...

For this is not the legendary West, but the tall-tale West, where realistic detail is introduced merely to lend credence to one of the year's most expert whoppers...
Aloof Abstraction. The material is mostly drawn from Italian museums and churches, and it has its gaps, caused by the inimitable pigheadedness of Italian art bureaucracy.

Grumman had claimed that it needed the money immediately to meet its payrolls. But Senators angrily noted that Grumman had reinvested an earlier Navy loan in high-yield, short-term securities and made a net profit of nearly $3 million. Some Senators also were annoyed that Grumman had paid dividends of 15? a share to stockholders in the last two quarters; Grumman last week postponed until next month action on another dividend, but conceded...
