...decentralization. There is very little but wages and hours that can unite a teaching fellow in Geology with one in Music on some common course of action. Perhaps the solution will be truly federative--an interdepartmental organization linking strong departmental groups. But at the moment it is impossible to predict what form the Federation will finally assume...
...major changes in student-administration relations in any of the parts of the University. In the College, no institutional changes to allow for more representation of student opinion accompanied all the talk. At the Law School, a Faculty-student committee has been established--it is too early now to predict what the committee's impact will be, but some students are already suggesting that it will turn out to be a device for suffocating real dissent. The Ed School may have made the most headway with the integration of students into some Faculty committees. Again, it is too early...
When China attacked India the same year, Washington-based Draconologists Allen Whiting (now deputy consul general in Hong Kong) and Paul Kreisberg were able to predict that the advance would stop short of a full-scale invasion.

She is also confident that no one will be able to elbow her out of the prime ministry after the elections. But other Indians are less sanguine.

At Radcliffe, all of last year's summa and magna highest graduates are in grad school, as well as 60 per cent of the magnas, 42 per cent of the cums, and only 33 per cent of the non-honors graduates. At Harvard, 92 per cent of the summas go to grad school, along with 87 per cent of the magnas, 82 per cent of the C.L.G.S. graduates, 81 per cent of the cums, and 52 per cent of the non-honors...
