...Ph.D. in any marketable field, and several which are not, such as anthropology, has the chance of making a real and needed contribution to his society. The liberal arts graduate may make such a contribution, but it is aside from, not a product of, his education...
...these days of massive U.S. Government-supported and -sponsored research, dominated by NASA and the AEC, your fine cover on Nelson Glueck and the panorama of modern archaeology [Dec. 13] demonstrated many oft-forgotten truths! Among them: genius is still the product of an individual brain; pure scientific research may be utterly unrelated to pyramided teamwork or expensive gadgetry; science is by no means restricted to physics, chemistry and biology, in spite of the fact that neither Nobel (science) Prizes nor most of our high school curricula recognize any other fields; much research of the highest kind can be pursued...

Industrial production, the measure of what U.S. business produces, rose 7% to reach a new high. After several years of a profit squeeze that discouraged new ventures and encouraged old complaints, business reaped an unprecedented harvest of $51 billion in pretax profit. Detroit's automakers, strained almost beyond their willing capacity for optimism, not only ran up the best year in their history, but witnessed the beginning of another that held promise of destroying tradition...
