...Argentina's people. Not even the country's few bargains-3? subway rides, 1½ pay phones, 300-per-lb. beefsteak-have been able to ease the feelings of frustration and disquiet. The middle class grumbles constantly about soaring prices, which seem to hit it hardest. The lower classes are slightly better off, mainly because Onganía, who started out as a union buster, has turned kindly toward the unions and consults with them regularly in an effort to win some kind of popular support. "Onganía is an orphan," says Labor Leader José Alonso...
Oftentimes Overdone. U.S. scientists have already devised a host of theories about pulsars. Yeshiva University Astrophysicist A.G.W. Cameron and Caltech Astronomer John B. Oke believe the mysterious objects may be white dwarfs, Cameron suggesting that their frequency of oscillation is actually a harmonic of the lower frequency assigned to dwarfs by current theory. U.S. Naval Research Physicist Herbert Friedman of the U.S. Naval Research Lab oratory and Cornell Astronomer Thomas Gold support the neutron-star hypothesis. Gold speculates that the first pulsar identified may be an extremely dense body as small as six to 60 miles in diameter that rotates...

Lower by $75 million was another consortium of companies in Germany and Switzerland headed by the German construction company Hochtief. But when the Germans and Swiss reviewed their figures, they asked to be allowed to raise the original bid by $50 million. Pakistani officials demurred. They gave the job instead to Impregilo, which has already gained impressive dam-building experience from projects in the Middle East and Africa...
...students to take four half-courses in Aerospace Studies, which, like all ROTC courses, are taught by military personnel. Enroll- ment in the Air Force program is fairly competitive: this year there were seventy-five applications for about twenty places, and last year the proportion accepted was even lower...
