...save of the evening, stopping a solo by B.U. wing Dick Fogerty at 6:55 of the third period. Fogerty picked up a loose puck in the center zone after a teammate had blocked a shot made by a Crimson defenseman, raced into the Harvard zone, and fired a medium high, hard shot from about tweive feet out. Bland deflected it over the cage...
...week (she flew up to Washington later), Kennedy climbed aboard his twin-engined Convair Caroline for a quick trip to the capital. As the plane turned northward, Kennedy removed his coat, slouched down in his seat behind a desk, drank a glass of milk and sawed away at a medium-rare filet of beef. Lunch done, he squinted out the window, picked up a ruled pad of yellow paper and a ballpoint pen. Over the first three pages, he scribbled a new opening for his inaugural speech-even while, just a few feet away, Secretary Evelyn Lincoln was hammering...
Nearly half of Netherlands New Guinea's 700,000 Papuans still live in primitive villages where the cowrie shell is the medium of exchange and where women often rank below pigs on the social scale.

Where this happy medium will be found is most likely in the realm of education and training of semi-skilled personnel. The developing nations are aiming above all at self-sufficiency, and they prefer aid programs that will train natives to do jobs to those that bring in foreigners to handle every phase of an operation. American college graduates are capable of instructing native workers in certain simple skills, and can also teach English, mathematics and the sciences in the secondary schools (the great source of semi-skilled manpower). Graduates of agricultural or engineering schools can be particularly useful...
