...Fine Arts 152a (Tu. Th. at 11), billed in the catalogue as Prof. Ackerman's course, but placed at the last moment in the worthy hands of young, brilliant Everett Fahy.

For Low Country fans, there is Prof. van Regteran Altena, who wowed his first class by delivering a forty-minute lecture in verse (on Seventeenth Century Dutch Art).

As Gulf took over, Vice President William L. Henry estimated that Reston would need an injection of $12 million more cash by 1970 to move...
...year's free-world production of sulfur, as the stuff is commonly known, will amount to 15.6 million tons, a critical 300,000 tons short of needs. In the U.S., which accounts for more than 50% of the output, once vast stocks have shrunk to a 35-year low, leaving the nation with a bare 15-week supply...
