...Viet Nam's 43 provinces-none of which can yet be described as totally free from terror. After four weeks of in tensive study of rice production in the Philippines and Taiwan, they will get special instruction in booby traps and, if they request it, weaponry when they reach Viet Nam. Only then will they be ready to go out among the Vietnamese peasants, who make up 85% of the country's 14 million population...
...most of all, there is the tourism, which now accounts for more than 90% of the islands' $150 million annual income. Last year, a record 800,000 vacationers poured into the Bahamas, and by 1968 the total should reach more than 1,000,000 a year, which would leave the islands second only to Puerto Rico in Caribbean tourist traffic. Whether they stay at Lyford Cay, Canadian Millionaire E. P. Taylor's resort on New Providence Island, or at any of the more modest hotels that are budding just about everywhere, the tourists leave a bundle of foreign...
...slaughter of political enemies that would result from a Communist take over? Who can really count future casualties in Viet Nam and weigh them against the casualties of another war that might have to be fought later in Thailand?

But when Ronald Reagan became Califor nia's Governor this month, he came face to face with two striking facts: a budget deficit that could reach $400 million in the next fiscal year, and an expensive complex of colleges and universities that consumes about $400 million a year and yet does not charge students a single penny of tuition.* Putting two and two together, Reagan last week proposed to take a healthy whack at the funds doled...
...full-time students. Strong in English, French, philosophy and the classics, Fordham now trails only Notre Dame in overall quality among Catholic schools, and is rapidly trying to catch up. Faculty salaries have been upgraded-the average pay of full professors, $13,543 in 1965, will reach $22,500 in three years-and the school is on the hunt for academic stars with the stature of Communications Pundit Marshall McLuhan, who will join the staff next semester. Such is the pace of change at Fordham, quips its theology department chairman, Father Christopher Mooney, that "if you stay home with...
