Reading about myself in newspapers and magazines is one of the great extracurricular delights that I enjoy as a Harvard student. A wealth of headlines and articles remind me how unusual, how intriguingly subversive, how wild and exciting Harvard really is. For instance, Business Week, March '61 describes a brilliant high-powered Harvard and its ruthlessly competitive admissions procedure, noting that "The 'tigers' who survive are forcing the college to change its approach."

The constitution stipulates that the King must be a "fervent Buddhist," but fervor in happy-go-lucky Laos covers a multitude of careless religious enthusiasms. Perennial civil war has left Buddhist practice virtually uninvolved, though near the Luang temple, skilled, cigarette-puffing monks cheerfully cast their Buddhas in brass melted down from 37-mm. and 105-mm. artillery cartridges...
