...Befits a Star. At the same time, Ronald Reagan's fortunes were on the rise. He moved, as befits a star of the late show, through TV. With an expenditure of about $13,500 in Nebraska, mostly for TV (v. nearly $100,000 for Nixon), and without personal appearances, Reagan captured 22% of the vote-an amazing and significant showing, as Republican Governor Norbert Tiemann put it. Tiemann, to be sure, exaggerated Reagan's performance. Nebraska is Tory turf, and Reagan's conservative theme was more enthusiastically received there than it might have been elsewhere. Still, even...
...large chunks of walls. Four men drowned in the torrent. The six others scrambled to the highest spot in the 9 by 140-ft. area, frantically constructed a barricade of timber and heavy burlap to keep out the flood, foul air and deadly gases. As the water continued to rise, Larry Lynch, 28, fell to his knees and prayed: "Dear God, you can work miracles-I'm asking you for one." The water stopped, and never moved closer...
Damaging Proportions. So far, the function of the substance, even in normal amounts, is unknown. Its level in the bloodstream generally rises under conditions of stress, however, so it is apparently involved in the biochemistry of tension and anxiety. In the schizophrenic patient, Gottlieb points out, tension and anxiety are already "out of control." Thus its level may rise unchecked to mind-damaging proportions. By coincidence, the Worcester Foundation research team working with Dr. John R. Bergen discovered and tested similar blood fractions simultaneously with the Lafayette team. They injected the substance into rats that had been trained to reach...
Last year Xerox showed a 21.8% profit increase over 1966-for the sixth straight year of 20%-plus profits growth. Only because the company set aside cash for an anticipated 10% tax surcharge did 1968 first-quarter earnings rise a mere 12.7% over the same period last year. Not even Xerox expects to keep duplicating such successes forever. More than a dozen competitors have come into the copying field. Among them is the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company, which is now testing a machine that can make color copies in one minute...
...cross-registration at M.I.T. should be routine, the HPC says, since it is already allowed for science courses. The courses the HPC wants to see listed in the Harvard Course Catalogue include, "The Rise of African Nationalism," "The Emergence of Modern Africa," "Mechanisms and Forms of Protest," and "Comparative African Politics...
