...Taiwan has a standing offer of an assistant curatorship; and last week Oxford University's Balliol College-the politicians' prep that produced Herbert Asquith, Harold Macmillan, Tory Leader Ted Heath, Defense Minister Denis Healey, and such other luminaries as Arnold Toynbee, Julian Huxley, Graham Greene and King Olaf of Norway-invited the Virginia-born Brahmin to lecture on American politics during the fall Michaelmas term. He is, in short, the alter ego of Pennsylvania's Hugh Scott, a former Republican national committee chairman (1948-49) and one of the canniest, guttiest infighters on either side...

Electrical stimulus of brain areas has been shown to produce responses of fear, affection, laughter or sex arousal; such techniques, says Yale's Dr. Jose Delgado, "will certainly increase...
...Five liberal arts colleges-Colgate, Middlebury, Mills, St. Olaf and Vassar -got Cornell-style matching grants totaling $10,800,000. Of the $100 million originally set aside for small colleges, $91 million have now been given out, none to segregated schools; the foundation this year slowed the pace of giving in hopes that before all the money is granted, some can be handed out to racially integrated Southern colleges. > Eight Negro colleges and the Atlanta University Center (consisting of six independent schools, including top-rated Morehouse and Spelman colleges, that share academic resources) received $13 million. The Ford Foundation waived...
