...doctorate in economics at the University of Berlin, and in 1931 joined the faculty at Harvard. Among his students in 1935 was Paul Samuelson, the M.I.T. professor who won the second Nobel economics prize in 1970. Besides Leontief and Samuelson, Harvard's Simon Kuznets-also a Russian émigré-won the award in 1971, and Harvard's Kenneth J. Arrow shared it in 1972. Cracked Leontief: "Do you think there should be an antitrust investigation...
Many Polish-American tourists make the trip simply to visit relatives; others, particularly the younger visitors, are third-or fourth-generation Americans anxious to renew contact with their ancestral home. But an increasing number of elderly èmigrès are returning to Poland for good, taking advantage of a government-sponsored bargain retirement program...
...90th birthday. But the festival-featuring 3 1 ballets, of which 21 were world premières, set to Stravinsky's music-was also a celebration of the greatest single creative partnership in the history of ballet.

Both blasts, it appears certain, were the work of émigré Croatian terrorists, who want independence for their homeland from rule by Yugoslavia's central government. The well-timed incidents provided a grim counterpoint to an urgent meeting of Yugoslav political leaders in Belgrade. As a result of earlier separatist agitation in Croatia (TIME, Dec. 27), which had been a direct challenge to Yugoslavia's federal system, President Josip Broz Tito, nearly 80 but amazingly robust, had summoned 367 of the nation's political leaders to Belgrade for a three-day party conference. The basic issue...
