...began investing a personal estate of $400 million in the public weal. In 1911, after twelve years of uninterrupted and unprecedented generosity, he still had $150 million left. Carnegie solved the problem by establishing the Carnegie Corporation of New York and endowing it with $125 million, thereby setting a pattern that other rich Americans have since copied with exponential zeal. Despite its title, which suggests a kinship with General Motors or IBM, the Carnegie Corporation pursues no profits and pays no taxes. It was one of the first of the philanthropic foundations that have multiplied throughout this century...
...problem. "The university of the '60s," says Berkeley Chancellor Roger W. Heyns, "is a city, and the problem is how to get neighborhoods within that city-otherwise you have loneliness and anonymity." Most major universities are working on ways to create those neighborhoods, such as "the cluster college" pattern of California's Santa Cruz campus, the "living-learning" units at Michigan State, and Meyerson's attempt to create "centers of identification" at Buffalo...
Hayes is unfazed, however. He thinks that his loopholes are well knitted, and he cites Judge Learned Hand's 1934 finding: "Anyone may so arrange his affairs that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which best pays the Treasury.

...constantly awes his subordinates in Saigon. They insist that Momyer knows where every allied unit and road-friendly or enemy-is in South Viet Nam and where every bridge and truck park is in North Viet Nam. His pilots credit him with uncanny in sight into the best flight pattern to avoid flak on their missions north, an insight gained in part through his own participation in at least one of each of the 30 types of missions, from reconnaissance to rescue operations, that are flown over North Viet Nam. He has also made it a point...
Biggest reason for the increased prices was high wage settlements, which added an average 5% to business costs in 1967, while productivity (output per man-hour) gained only 3%. The disparity disturbs businessmen because it portends lower profits, or higher prices, or both. The 5% pattern had been established by the 1966 airline machinists' strike, which buried the Administration's once cherished 3.2% wage-price "guideposts." This fall, 5% became more of a floor than a ceiling. Auto workers won 7% increases from Ford, Chrysler and General Motors; Congress gave 705,000 postal workers a 6% raise (along...
