While students living in Radcliffe dormitories now pay $40 more than Harvard students, and will be paying an additional $70 more next year, their rooms are smaller, their dorms are noisier--in general, their living conditions are much poorer. With the rise in rates, this inequity will become even more pronounced. Two paths ought to be considered to remedy this. The first is some sort of financial merger with Harvard University, which is obviously no longer a men's college in the same sense that the other Ivy League schools...
There was always something in him that could rouse the noisier Republicans to fits of righteous indignation. In the end, too, some of the liberals who had followed him for so long began to revile him.

Their power must be transmitted to the independently-sprung and swiveling front wheels rather than to fixed rear wheels, requiring a more complex axle that could cost Oldsmobile $150 more per car than the conventional drive. Says a rival Big Three executive: "Front wheel drive is just not worth the added cost...
...public life and in the public eye for so long that she has learned to be circumspect, even when she's in a situation where she can let her hair down." Others find her barefoot-folksy talk a little too much, as when she drawls, "He's noisier than a mule in a tin barn," or "I'm busier than a man with one hoe and two rattlesnakes." But the overwhelming majority of the people who know her give Lady Bird exceedingly high marks for personal charm and attractiveness. "I've never talked to anyone...
