...North Carolinians who voted for the Republican ticket on Nov. 5 wound up casting their ballots for George Wallace instead. This switch was decided for them by Dr. Lloyd W. Bailey, a physician from Rocky Mount and one of 13 electors chosen by the state's voters to reflect their choice. By tradition, all the electoral votes should have gone automatically to Richard Nixon as winner of a plurality of the state's popular vote. Rather than ratify the Republican victory, however, Bailey, a loyal John Bircher, handed over one-thirteenth of the total votes to Wallace, because...
Powell's pronouncements-and the British sentiment that they reflect-intruded into last week's London meeting of leaders from the 28 Commonwealth nations, of which 22 have predominantly nonwhite populations. Offended by articles in the British press that portrayed the behavior of Asian immigrants as uncouth and unclean, Pakistani Foreign Minister Arshad Husain rapped Britain for practicing discrimination. Rising in Britain's defense, Prime Minister Harold Wilson pointed to the "fiercely penal" anti-discrimination laws that his Labor Government has sponsored.

Possible Biases. To some extent, the program's good showing may reflect the fact that the patients are older than the average addict and more likely to be motivated to seek a better way of life. Then too, by design, all of them are volunteers. The sample is not exactly representative: it contains proportionately more whites (48% v. 25% among addicts generally), with 33% Negroes and 18% Puerto Ricans. Even with allowances for bias, the results are so good that an impartial study group set up at Columbia University calls them "most encouraging" and recommends expansion of the program...
...Harvard ROTC units reflect this selectivity and high quality in their enrollment. For those who like to measure in terms of scholarship awards, there are 47 Phi Beta Kappas in the Army ROTC program now and five Rhodes Scholars have been in the program in the course of the past three years. In terms of military leadership performance, Harvard cadets set an all-time record at this year's Regular ROTC summer camp. Out of 29 cadets who completed the camp successfully (three were eliminated for physical reasons) 16 won honors (top 10 per cent) by being selected as Distinguished...
