...declining years of the 20th century nothing stays simple. In New Jersey deer hunting has been bureaucratized. Any hunter caught with liquor on his breath by a game warden is likely to lose his license. Applicants for licenses must show that they have passed a course in gun safety, during which they are drilled in such elementary but often overlooked things as unloading before climbing a fence and holding fire when they cannot clearly see the quarry. Hunters in New Jersey must wear at least 200 sq. in. of bright orange material on their clothes; they may not hunt within...
...positive step. But the Germans had been surprised by the suddenness of Carter's move, and they were known to have feared originally that there might be a secret deal with Peking that could pit Washington against Moscow. Giscard stressed that the new U.S. policy on China must not interfere with negotiations with the Soviets. After the matter had been discussed, there was a consensus that the new China policy would not damage U.S. relations with the U.S.S.R. or draw the West into the Sino-Soviet conflict...

Budget battles between the White House and Congress are an annual event, but this year the President, Democratic leaders and most Republicans are in rare general agreement.

Tanks and troops continued to patrol city streets at night, but thousands of protesters defied the 9 o'clock curfew to go to rooftops and shout their chilling chant: "The Shah must die." Even whispering that slogan would once have provoked a visit by a SAVAK agent. Names, addresses and phone numbers of secret police agents are now posted on city walls. Some parents have taken their children to grisly museums of past horrors: two houses in the capital that were allegedly used by SAVAK to torture victims. Along with the fighting that has now touched virtually every corner...
...outlook especially glum for private colleges? A chief reason is that they must compete with public colleges, which get regular subsidies from state governments to keep tuition low. The average yearly private-college tuition is now $2,970 (not including room and board), compared with public-college tuition of $600. And there is pressure on the private schools to continue raising fees, since tuition now pays for less than half of a private-college education; gifts, endowments and Government grants must make up the difference. At Harvard, tuition, room and board charges have risen this year to $7,500. Others...
