...Congratulations on your choice of General Westmoreland. However, I would like to voice my disappointment that you never chose General Douglas MacArthur as your Man of the Year. MacArthur was the main reason we haven't lost more of Asia...

A Rutgers branch in Newark operates in a converted brewery and a former razor-blade factory. Salaries are tied to state civil service scales, adequate for instructors but, at a maximum of $16,000, too low to keep top professors. Raided by the State University of New York and others, New Jersey last year made an exception and offered a few professors up to $24,000, but, insists...
