...Egghead Roll." Pearson now has that trust. "The very first thing I will do." he vows, "is to try to establish the climate of confidence." To rebuild swiftly Canada's crumbled reputation abroad, Pearson plans...
...fraternity foolery may look outdated when the state of Lower Saxony finishes its prodigious revamping of Gottingen. While aiming to keep enrollment steady, the planners hope to rebuild 92% of the university. On the boards are hundreds of new buildings, including a twelve-story hospital.

A 30-man Commissariat du Plan-working with reports on demand and capacity from 3,500 businessmen, unionists, economists and educators-now estimates how fast France can and should grow. The current goal is 5½% annually through 1965, and to reach it the commissariat "suggests" investment and output levels for each major industry and producer. The theory: if appliance makers can be led to expect a 5½% increase in consumer demand, they will increase production...
