...Moorer has ordered the military to be "even more austere than the public at large." The result is that more servicemen may find themselves in the shoes of General David C. Jones, U.S. Air Force commander in Europe. Jones has ordered his driver to keep his sedan in the motor pool, as the general twice daily walks the mile between his quarters and his office...
Nobody has tapped this sensitivity to image more than Harvard's Reischauer. In Japan six weeks ago he accepted a check for $1,000,000 from Nissan Motor Co.; a similar sum was soon pledged by Toyota, Japan's other leading carmaker.

What is known about multiple sclerosis is that it is a disease of the central nervous system that impairs sensation, motor functions and balance. What is not known is its cause or cure. Its crippling, paralyzing and all too often fatal course-marked by alternating exacerbations and remissions-can be run in as few as three years or as many as 50. Hormones, especially of the cortisone type, can relieve acute symptoms during the early phases. By all odds, however, Du Pré's career and very possibly...
