...licked his country's many problems. But he at least has shown a sure hand in coping with them. To play down political bickering, the President selected his Cabinet from the lists of all major moderate parties and adopted several opposition bills for his own legislative program. His main concern has been to revive the shattered economy by reducing official salaries and reining in government spending. For the first time in 16 months, the Dominican Republic this month will meet its expenses without turning to the U.S. for assistance...
Down-to-Earth Techniques. Obviously, civilian schools have proved a fizzle for too many youths. Just as obviously, the schools' own self-improvements, plus such antipoverty programs as the Job Corps, should be the main remedies for the failure. But as long as the military services need more manpower, it seems reasonable that they should teach such basic skills as grammar, reading and arithmetic, along with more technical skills. The relevant question is whether they are equipped...
...thirds of its students. The University of Michigan, which already assigns some classes by dormitory groups, next year will open its first residential college to 250 freshmen, who will all take a common core program of liberal arts, later move to a new campus about a mile from the main Ann Arbor campus.

He is Manhattan's aging Mainbocher, 75, born Main Rousseau Bocher in Chicago-and his dresses can be seen on "CeeZee" Guest and "Babs" Paley. But the wave of the future really lies with the younger designers who produce ready-to-wear. To Marc Bohan of Christian Dior in Paris, California's puckish Rudi Gernreich, 44, is the standout. No designer for conformists, he will...
Make the scene? For the first time since The Wild One (1954), Hollywood has moved in for a closeup of the big barbaric motorcycle gangs of Southern California. Directed by Laslo Benedek, The Wild One was a sociological shocker that in the main effectively described a sick subculture. Directed by Roger Corman, a cut-rate master of the macabre who seems to work better with spiders than he does with actors, The Wild Angels is a sleazily synthetic retread that will probably take a long skid through U.S. grind houses. However, the film may well make a mark in Europe...
