There are more serious complaints: despite Tubman's economic gains, a large number of Liberia's 1,000,000 people still eke out all too meager an existence while the heirs of the old elite and government officials live handsomely. The 1969 austerity budget of $61 million, for instance, sets aside $37 million for government expenditure, including salaries, but only one-tenth that amount for development. Tubman's own annual salary as chief executive is $25,000. Agriculture has so far been given short shrift in economic planning. Graft and corruption abound, and Tubman's True...
...them, anyway. Knox is now a country-and-western singer in Macon, Ga. And Bowen? He finally settled in Los Angeles, producing recordings rather than performing on them. He did right well, too. During six years as a producer for the Reprise label, he supervised albums that sold 10 million copies and singles that sold 12 million, boosting his income to $500,000 a year. Today, his own six-month-old Amos Productions Inc. is one of the largest independent record-production companies...
After a disappointing 1967-68 season, the staff of the Public Broadcasting Laboratory was naturally let down.

...family structure evolve? The answer, suggest the ethologists, has a great deal to do with the uncertain history of the development of man's only major biological specialization-his brain. From a scratch start with the simians, this marvelous cultural device grew threefold in man in one million years-an evolutionary rate of unprecedented rapidity. Asks Fox: "Did the growth of the brain lead to the capacity for greater social complexity, or vice versa...
...Last week, after a century and a half of continuous publication, the Post came to an end. Readership had remained high in recent years, but costs rose higher and advertising revenues went down. Largely because of the Post's problems, the parent Curtis Publishing Co. had lost $62 million since 1961. The Post figured to cut its deficit from $5,000,000 last year to $3,000,000 in 1969, but hopes of regaining advertisers remained dim. The Curtis board of directors, bowing to the inevitable, gathered in New York City and decreed death for the magazine after...
