Moreover, as one result of automation-the world's biggest bogy word to most union leaders-the so-called white-collar workers have for the first time passed in number the lunch pail-carrying blue-collar men, who are the backbone of unionism (see chart). Since white-collar workers historically identify themselves with management, they are hard to organize-and the unions have made only the smallest dent in their ranks...
...business done, Betancourt's U.S. trip became ruffles and flourishes. He pushed on to New York for a two-day stay, had lunch at the U.N. with Secretary-General U Thant, journeyed up the Hudson to see New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller, whose wide interests in Venezuela run from the Creole Petroleum Corp. to cattle ranching and supermarkets. At week's end Betancourt flew to Miami, paused for breakfast with A.F.L.-C.I.O. President George Meany, then boarded a Venezuelan jetliner bound for more state visiting in Mexico. Then he will go on to the Dominican Republic, where Juan...
Despite all the discouraging news about the lagging Alliance for Progress, the U.S. could find a lift last week in the record of one relatively modest but highly successful program. In 1954, the U.S. started shipping surplus food stocks to Latin America for use in a free school-lunch program.

Each day in Mexico, more than 1,000,000 schoolchildren receive the donated food. "The lunch is the only reason a lot of parents send their children to school," says Djalma Maranhão, mayor of Natal in Brazil's impoverished Northeast. In Brazil alone, some 3 billion...
...this juncture that severe group pressures begin to attack the student. Specific cafes and plazas are the very definite hangouts of various groups. On the Terrace, another of the Union lunch spots, a large foreign and graduate student block congregates. Both the Bear's Lair and Jules', an off-campus restaurant, are the sanctums of the fraternity-sorority crowd. One sorority girl commented that she "never saw any of her friends on the Terrace," but always found them at Jules...
