...commercial version of the U.S. Army's rigid-rotor Cheyenne. A compound craft with a speed of 230 m.p.h. and range of 250 miles, the CL 1026 combines helicopter rotors for vertical landings and take-offs with fixed stub wings and propeller for level flight...
...naked women, which he executes in steely tones, have an unnerving frontality arising from the fact that Leslie's brush goes beyond what the naked eye would see. He cunningly divides his figures into four sections, then paints head, chest, abdomen and thighs separately, each viewed from eye level. He elevates his models on platforms, or for self-portraits, uses a male model posing in his clothes...
...tide of rising expectations in learning is sweeping the U.S. At the turn of the century, universal grade-school education was considered a high enough achievement, as was a high school diploma by World War II. Now the day is fast approaching when some form of college-level learning will be the national norm-and the M.A. today carries little more prestige than the bachelor's degree did a few years ago. The burden of quenching this thirst for learning is being borne primarily by the nation's huge public systems of higher education, which are expanding facilities...
Best of Both. Although salaries at state universities still lag behind those at the top private schools, the best public institutions can now get the best professors-a fact witnessed by academic recognition of Berkeley as a finer all-round school on the graduate level than Harvard.

...forms of higher education. The tidiest system of them all is still that of California, where former President Clark Kerr's master plan is continually reviewed by a coordinating council that includes representatives of the state's private colleges. The Kerr plan assigns clear functions to three levels of state institutions: the university (which takes the upper 12½% of high school graduates), the state colleges (the upper third), and the junior colleges (everyone else). Each level has its own governing board, such as the powerful university regents, but all yield to funding decisions of the state legislature...
