Anglo-Saxon & Macaroni. Scholarship aside, and simply as a sheer editorial enterprise, the Jefferson Papers deserved the applause. Of its kind, nothing so massive has ever been attempted in the U.S. The 39-volume bicentennial edition of George Washington's papers runs to only one-third the number of words and documents, Yale's great, still incomplete 50-volume Horace Walpole Correspondence to about one-fourth the documents...
...more that were written to him by others. To be included: practically every recoverable scrap Jefferson ever wrote, from his state papers and his travel notes down to his jottings and essays on the scores of subjects which interested him, from the Anglo-Saxon language to recipes for macaroni and ice cream. Already, Editor Boyd has over 50,000 items on tap from more than 425 sources, and more are trickling in all the time...
...cereal box design. The new emphasis is on audience participation. What look like multi-colored Rorschach ink-blots with a fringe of tabs on the backs of boxes turn out to be pieces marked out for constructing models. There are Roman chariots (one is advised to use sticks of macaroni for the axles), county fair grounds, and a Northwest Mounted Police Headquarters and Assayers office...

The Council found that 159 colleges and universities are buying commercial enterprises out of endowment funds or with the tax-exempt earnings of businesses they have taken over.

(piston rings), the $3,300,000 American Limoges China Inc. and the $35 million Howes Leather Co. On their earnings the companies would be paying all told an estimated $1,500,000 a year in federal taxes, if they were still privately held...
...menus in a one week stay included three meals with macaroni as a main attraction, a meal made up of potato chips and an inedible salad, and meat loaf which tasted as if someone had misread the recipes on the back of a Corn Flakes box. Orange juice was always canned, and stewed fruits, and canned spice foods, not what one gives to a convalescing patient, made up the diet. Meat, with the exception of Sunday dinner, was poor and rarely present, while the fish on Friday had, better not be described in print...
