What Reagan has suggested is charging tuition of $400 each to California students at the university and $200 each to those at the state colleges. In this way, the state would be able to maintain higher-education budgets at the same level as this year, but with a substantially smaller portion of the funds coming from the state. These recommendations took administrators and even the Board of Regents, the university's governing body, by surprise. They had asked for a fifteen per cent budget hike for 1967-68, because they anticipated a proportional increase in enrollment...
Though both are military men, Castello Branco was cool to Costa e Silva's bid for the presidency, for which he had decided not to run. As the ARENA party's picked candidate, Costa e Silva pledged during his campaign to maintain and develop Castello Branco's revolutionary policies, but promised that he would try to "humanize" them. Brazil could stand some humanizing right now. Though Castello Branco has accomplished many things-cut the budget, slowed inflation, attracted new foreign investment-Brazilians are discouraged by years of harsh austerity and repression...
...President and Congress maintain this mood, the ceiling may be lowered for a U.S. industry that has built 78% of the 9,000 airline planes now flying worldwide and is confidently expected to nail down the supersonic market as well after 1974.

In Toulouse last week, the Concorde prototype's wings were mated to its body and the $3 billion project is keeping right on schedule toward scheduled flight in 1971. The Concorde is smaller, slower and less rangy than...
Grand Prix. The Formula One is the thoroughbred of racing cars. Nothing on wheels is quite so sophisticated. Formula Ones can cost up to $100,000 to build, and as much again to maintain for a single racing season. Twelve feet long and elegantly slender, they look like bright green, blue, red, purple dragonflies perched on fat black feet. Though the cars weigh a mere 1,100 Ibs., their three-liter engine develops more than 375 h.p., and they can dart down a straightaway at better than 200 m.p.h. At full bore, a Formula One handles so neurotically that...
...awesome calm of Indian art often bewilders Western viewers. The gods -- the usual subject of Indian paintings and sculpture -- maintain an expression of cosmic serenity even when engaged in brutal battle or erotic activity. Many Westerners find the lush anatomy and serpentine lines oversensuous and corrupt, and on the whole the Indian aesthetic does not correspond to anything which is immediately meaningful to Western eves. The meaning and beauty of Indian art eludes anyone untutored in the thought from which the artists proceeded...
