...wants to put down riots themselves, not deal with the conditions that create them," said Leslie F. Griffin '70, president of the AAAAS. The prospectus of the course, "Planning 113b," states that "The American ghetto problem is better known than understood, as riots and continuing unrest demonstrate . . . It is obviously desirable to minimize such effects, to inhibit this kind of violence and to mitigate its impact on our society...
...world beyond Wall Street, most financial trade publications seem as dull and dreary as a stock prospectus. A new publication in this ar cane area of journalism, however, is fast proving that writing about high finance can be both exciting and amusing. Its editor is 'Adam Smith,' the author of the irreverent and humorous bestseller, The Money Game. As Wall Street and publishing circles know by now, Smith is really George J.W. Good man, 38, a former Rhodes scholar, journalist (TIME, FORTUNE), novelist and screenwriter (The Wheeler Dealers). Considerably less well known is Good man's latest...
...believe in it. We never have. As TIME'S founding prospectus put it: "The editors recognize that complete neutrality on public questions and important news is probably as undesirable as it is impossible."

As the darker side has come more into view, Ebony has adjusted. Last winter, Senior Editor Lerone Bennett Jr. provoked considerable controversy and a stern rebuttal from the New York Times when he wrote an article debunking Abraham Lincoln...
...left some U.S. officials notably cool. After Kosygin announced a nine-point program to halt the nuclear-arms race, one Washington official declared: "Most of that stuff is old garbage. It's a propaganda cover for the fact that their position is not formulated." Indeed, Kosygin's prospectus did have a ring of familiarity. Its major proposals -for limitations on the production of nuclear weapons and delivery systems, and restrictions on the movement of nuclear-armed bombers and missile-launching submarines-have been made before, but never came close to being implemented. But the British thought they...
