...Krzysztof Penderecki, Luigi Nono and other 20th century composers. Ask an educator and you will learn that Buffalo's 21,000-student private university, taken over by New York State in 1962, is now the largest single unit of the new state university system. A new $600 million educational plant, designed by the architectural firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, is on the drawing boards, and an impressive and often highly unconventional faculty has been assembled. In-group theatrical circles now know Buffalo equally well: it has a two-year-old, better-than-average repertory theater group...
Equally vital to children's welfare is the parents' ability to decide how many they will have, and when. While he conceded that more research (at $12 million a year) into family planning is needed, the President declared that present knowledge of contraceptives must be made available to many more women who want it. As against $25 million currently available, which has financed family-planning counsel for 500,000 women, Johnson asked for $61 million so that 3,000,000 women can get advice and help.

Last week a second gold fever gripped Europe and again it was fed by doubts about the strength of the dollar and the international monetary system.

(In Montreal, quotations in 9210 Canadian dollars registered a comparable price.) Gold sales also soared in Paris, Zurich...

The company, which made its first computer in 1959 as a natural outgrowth of its business in office machines, has so far sold or leased $100 million worth of smaller series computers, including 55 NCR 590s bought by the Pentagon to travel around South Viet Nam in G.I. trucks keeping track of spare parts. NCR has also marketed $200 million worth of a secondgeneration computer known as the NCR 315, including one $16 million order from Japan's Sumitomo Bank, Ltd., which accounts for NCR's largest order...
Such customers, said Oelman last week, will contribute to what the company considers "deferred profitability." NCR, still trying to break even on its smaller computers, has put $150 million into developing the Century series. The company is confident that its computers will eventually make money. This year, while causing enormous start-up costs, they will contribute to what Oelman expects to be the NCR's first $1 billion sales year...
