...that echoes mournfully throughout Eastern Europe these days. Everywhere in the Communist bloc the institution of marriage is in trouble, and the proof of the malaise can be read in soaring divorce rates and declining birth rates. In Hungary, which has the lowest birth rate in the world, 13.6 per 1,000 people, more abortions are performed than there are babies born each year. One out of every four Rumanian couples got a divorce last year, as did one out of every three Czechoslovakian couples in Prague. The divorce rate has even shot up in strongly Roman Catholic Poland...
...Packers gave away age (two years per man), and at many positions they gave away vital speed. Their edge was experience. Their old pros overpowered the Raiders' youth and enthusiasm. Coolly and methodically, Green Bay ground the challengers down, capitalizing on Oakland's mistakes while making practically none of its own. Not once did Green Bay draw an offside or illegal motion penalty-while Oakland, baffled by the staggered cadence counts of Packer Quarterback Bart Starr, twice jumped the center snap. The Packers never fumbled; the Raiders did three times. The only interception came when Green...
...cost averages out to $25 per vacation day, including everything, and it is a hard bargain to match. Moreover, as Founder Alan Weitzman, 31, points out, "They're saving while they're planning for the trip, which keeps excitement and enthusiasm building up."

"I doubt that the European travel bans will really be prohibitive," says...
...example of the rates that could be used, the committee suggested that for each $3000 a student borrowed, he might be required to repay one per cent of his gross annual income for 30 years after leaving school. If a participant in the program borrowed $6000 and earned $10,000 each year after graduating, he would pay the Bank $200 a year, for a total of $6000 at the end of the period. Most students would probably pay the Bank more than they had been loaned, but anyone who earned a high salary quickly and felt that he would lose...
Both parents and universities have been pressing Congress to adopt a comprehensive student aid program like the Zaccharias proposal. Educational costs have been rising at an average rate of five per cent a year, so even middle-income families have been compelled to seek financial aid. Harvard estimates that a typical family with three children will ask for assistance at an income level of $16,000; New York's Board of Regents says that a family with two children needs a net salary of $9,000 to support a student who commutes to a public college. And as costs continue...
