...been the thing to say a few years ago, but it's not very popular in Africa now. The continent's leaders, once strong for revolution, are now well aware whose heads would roll the next time around. Chinese diplomats in Dar es Salaam, trying discreetly to recruit the Premier's next host, found that Guinea's Sékou Touré felt that a visit from Chou at this time might be "inconvenient." Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah was "too busy." Uganda, Zambia, Ethiopia, Somalia, and Nigeria were also not interested...

An agitated mother told Speak Up in Durham, N.C., that two strange women had just tried to recruit her junior high school daughter to "date men for money." No sooner had she hung up than a second mother called in to say, "And I thought I was the only one." Then came a third and a fourth parent and, finally, the chief of police himself.

Fully one-third of the companies that recruit college graduates do so exclusively from students in the 600 U.S. business schools, which now account for 20% of all graduate and undergraduate enrollment. Last week at their annual meeting in Manhattan, the deans of the leading schools-the 113 accredited by the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business-agreed that business schools are changing rapidly...
