...Italy's five big pre-nationalization electric companies-and with it a $190 million expropriation payment still due from the government.

Its $30,000-a-year President Toll is a theoretical physicist from the University of Maryland; his reputation-plus a $45,000-a-year salary-recently lured Nobel Physicist C. N. Yang to Stony Brook to head an Institute of Theoretical Physics that will have a $2,700,000 nuclear lab. Toll, who has also captured English Scholars Alfred Kazin and Peter Alexander, expects all his big-name professors to teach undergrads and all his researchers to apply...
...expenditures. Its School of Medicine has performed spectacular research in studying ways to enable dogs to breathe water, and the med school's Dr. Robert Guthrie is the developer of a simple test to spot brain-crippling phenylketonuria (PKU) in infants. Foundation grants have allowed Buffalo to snare Nobel Laureate Willard F. Libby and Physicist Edward Teller as visiting professors. Critic Leslie Fiedler teaches in the English department.
