...writers came to Yale University, towed by Harold Taylor, former president of Sarah Lawrence College. Just as international fellowship was beginning to ripen, a chap burst in to charge the Soviet poet with "almost pathological anti-Americanism," which he documented by quoting the poems. The rude fellow was Charles Moser, 29, assistant professor of Slavic languages at Yale, and a graduate exchange student at the University of Leningrad five years ago.

Robert Jackson, a specialist in Russian literature, called Moser's statement "irresponsible," and said that the university should be hospitable to obnoxious opinions.

"The woman who two years ago would look at a sale coat at $20 now wants a $50 coat," says Winston-Salem, N.C., Store Manager Fred Moser. President Edwin K. Hoffman of Cleveland's Higbee Co. finds that he is dealing with "a more sophisticated public. They know what they want, and they want the best." The frill kick embarrassed the usually knowledgeable marketing experts at Chevrolet this fall. They recommended dropping two extra-cost sports models from the Chevy...
