...much a matter of self-interest as of paternalism. American business loses an estimated $3 billion every year because of employee health problems. Companies find that fitness programs more than pay for themselves in reduced absenteeism, disability and lateness, and in greater productivity. Besides, medical evidence linking regular exercise and a healthy heart is growing. Last year, for instance, Stanford University's Dr. Ralph Paffenbarger Jr. found that of 17,000 Harvard graduates he observed over 15 years, those who swam, ran and otherwise regularly engaged in vigorous exercise, suffered fewer heart attacks than those...

Across a front of several hundred miles, an estimated 90,000 regular Vietnamese troops, backed by perhaps 18,000 antigovernment Cambodians, had seized control of more than a quarter of Cambodia. Moving swiftly, the invasion forces severed Cambodia's key military resupply lines, and by week's end, according to Hanoi radio, had captured the capital city of Phnom-Penh...
...outlook especially glum for private colleges? A chief reason is that they must compete with public colleges, which get regular subsidies from state governments to keep tuition low. The average yearly private-college tuition is now $2,970 (not including room and board), compared with public-college tuition of $600. And there is pressure on the private schools to continue raising fees, since tuition now pays for less than half of a private-college education; gifts, endowments and Government grants must make up the difference. At Harvard, tuition, room and board charges have risen this year to $7,500. Others...
