Nixon's advisers had proposed that he announce withdrawal of as many as 70,000 troops, but with characteristic caution Nixon chose a minimum opening figure of 25,000 (see box, page 18).

Compared with the recruits of earlier years, they are more mature, more experienced and vastly more self-assured. Almost anyone with a master's degree in business can start out at a minimum of $12,500 a year, and some get up to $25,000. To find the most promising of these students and discover what they think about business, TIME correspondents visited dozens of universities, interviewing professors, placement officers and students themselves. From these reports, TIME has selected an elite group...
