...such newcomer is Bernard Goldberg, a young CCA-endorsed attorney. His problem, he says, is the lack of publicity. To win, Goldberg states he first needs a basic minimum of at least 1,500 first place votes to keep him in the count. He reasons logically enough that unless he can stay in the count after the obvious stragglers have been eliminated, he cannot possibly benefit from any second, third, or fourth choice votes he may pick up from being on the CCA slate...
First down the ramp was Massachusetts' Jack Kennedy, who agreed that the compromise 1959 Labor-Management Act (TIME, Sept. 14) "contains many unfair and unsound and one-sided provisions," promised more favorable legislation, including a boost of minimum wages from $1 to $1.25 per hour in the next session. As for his own record, he had no regrets: "Jimmy Hoffa may not approve of me, but I do not apologize for having earned his hostility." The delegates gave Kennedy a rousing, standing ovation...
...American, TWA and a large group of farsighted smaller lines argued for the abolition of the tourist fare and adoption of new worldwide economy fares 12% to 15% below the present minimum rates.

From these pledges they hope to receive 1,000 pints of blood, including 300 from Radcliffe students, when the actual donations are given in December. Last year's drive brought only 800 pints...
...addition, since Exeter derives more than a third of its income from a large endowment (higher per student than Harvard University's), experimentation with the curriculum offers minimum financial benefits. If Exeter increased its size and went onto a four-quarter schedule, it would actually lose money (per student), despite the increased economic efficiency. Although the loss would be a matter of less than $40,000, and could easily be covered by a nominal increase in tuition, the fact remains that, for Exeter, or any school or college with a substantial endowment, the financial gain of the revised curriculum...
