...Clytemnestra, "Orestes, the lord of murder and proportion, saw that the tips of her nipples had touched her toes--a population problem and bad art." Of civilization, power, and Caracas, "through another of our cities without a center, as hideous as Los Angeles, and with as many cars per head, and past the 20-foot neon sign for Coppertone on a Church. . .on to the White House of El Presidente Leoni, his small men with 18-inch repeating pistols. . .while we had champagne. . ."

This obviously oversimplifies the finances involved, because of restrictions on some portions of the endowment, but the comparison places the problem in perspective. New additions to endowment from gifts have avaraged $25.5 million per year in recent years. If the university were...
...tendency of Congress to keep appropriations low except when crashes focus public attention on air safety. This parsimony seems dangerous in view of the fact that in the U.S. last year the number of fatal accidents in general aviation increased 15%, and the number of airline fatalities per 100 million passenger-miles rose from...
