...requires the matching of American grants by other industrial countries. According to the President, America would give India as much wheat as Canada, Australia, and Russia together contributed, up to three million tons. Second, the President weakly insisted that we "redouble our efforts" to finance development schemes through neutral institutions like the World Bank and the African Development Bank...
...flight trials. Then, last week, all was ready for the grand three-hour fly-off of the finalists in New York's cavernous Hall of Science, a building in Flushing Meadow left over from the 1964-65 World's Fair.

In fact, he built it after having been injured in an auto accident, partly to express his rage with the world...
...Cambridge last year and the fact that the Crimson won where the Midshipmen lost, at Philadelphia, though the last is a shaky support. Further evidence is that Earl beat Harvard's Rick Sterne at Annapolis but lost in an equally close five-game tournament match on a neutral New York court over Christmas vacation...
