...Bruner report of last spring, despite its inability to define the aims in a manner narrow enough to be within the reach of a one-year course, brought a fresh outlook to the program, and, apparently as a result of either the report or pleas by members of the Committee, several prominent natural scientists have become interested in Nat Sci--Edward M. Purcell, professor of Physics, is teaching half of Nat Sci 2, and George Wald, professor of Bio-chemistry, will teach a lower level course next year. Nevertheless, it is clear that prominent scientists can give time...
...Brooklyn's outspoken Judge Samuel Simon Leibowitz, 66, Rumanian-born, up from the slums, and never-as a celebrated criminal lawyer or judge-averse to provoking a headline.

Management's counteroffer: either 1) a one-year extension of the present contract with no wage boost and abolition of the present escalator clause that ties wages to the cost-of-living index, or 2) improved pension and insurance benefits, plus a "modest" wage increase next year...
