...ambassador to East Germany and the other manager of a factory on the Volga, stepped to the rostrum to grovel. Pervukhin tried to hold back a bit: "Though I was unable to discern the anti-party group's plans, when the group openly raised the question of changing the leadership, I did not agree or support them." Such a qualified confession was not enough. Planning Chief Joseph Kuzmin got up to say that his predecessor had squandered such enormous sums on high-cost hydroelectric and chemical projects that Khrushchev himself had to interfere and set things right. Four days...
...increasing difficulty of raising money to finance the deficit is one of the reasons Anderson and President Eisenhower are battling so hard to balance the budget. A still larger question revolves around the growth of the U.S. economy (see U.S. Expansion). Nevertheless, if interest rates keep edging up, Anderson's problem will only get worse. The Treasury is approaching the maximum interest rate of 4¼% set by Congress back in 1918. Before Secretary Anderson can pay more, he will have to ask Congress to raise the rate.

Students doing well in the course could apply to take a similar program their Senior year or to re-enter honors study...
...feel obliged to single out for criticism a phrase found in your acount of my arrest (CRIMSON, Feb. 10). The phrase in question follows a description of the officer's abusive treatment and uncivil request; it is "Coulter refused..." As you will appreciate, this suggests that my reply was of a kind with the officer's request, and that to his unreasonable demand I returned an equally unreasonable and categorical refusal. The truth is that I protested his treatment and attempted to clarify my rights as a citizen. It was this protest which led to my arrest...
