However Harvard, as I say, does have a meat and potatoes equality. But when it comes to dessert--ah, that is another matter. Girls are allowed to be equal; they are not allowed to excel. Girls are not eligible for membership in Harvard's only literary honor society, the Signet. Until recently, there was no literary magazine for them to write on. Girls shy away from holding top offices in clubs or publications, from directing plays. And most important, for it reveals the deeply traditional roots of the practise, there are no travelling fellowships--certainly the most coveted senior prize...

Lost Coaches & Dead Cattle. Built by the British in the mid-1800s, Argentina's railroads opened up the country, turned handsome profits hauling meat and wheat to the coast for export, and ran up a record for good service. Then, in 1948, Dictator Juan Perón decided on "economic independence," and bought out the British for $600 million. Into top management spots went Perón's political cronies. By 1955, the payroll had ballooned from 150,000 to 230,000 workers, who later bulldozed one government after another with strikes and strike threats for higher...

During race meetings, the dogs are kenneled at the track, are constantly muzzled, fed nothing but a carefully supervised diet of vegetables, vitamins, horse meat and beef. On race days, they are confined to guarded cages to make sure that nobody throws them a "meatball"-a wad of hamburger laced with a stimulant or depressant-and they are given postrace drug tests, just like horses. The tests are so exacting, in fact, that one trainer...

...rebels need the support of all honest nations." Inferring a U.S. threat to cut off $140 million a year in aid to Egypt (mostly surplus wheat, corn and frozen chickens), Nasser waxed indignant: "We drink tea seven days a week now: we can cut it to five. We eat meat four days; we can cut it to three. We are people of dignity, and do not accept disdain from anyone." His own tongue somewhat carried away, Egypt's strongman vowed to "cut off the tongue" of anyone who voices "words against...

...highway, does not advertise, seeks no transients. Although it is in a Negro neighborhood and employs 24 Negroes, it serves Negroes only from a take-out counter. Yet Ollie's beef-some $70,000 worth last year-was purchased from a Birmingham wholesaler who imported it from Hormel meat-packing plants outside of Alabama. Racial discrimination, ruled the court, affects the volume of Ollie's business, and therefore the amount of meat it buys...
