Authoritative sources declare that President-elect Kennedy, who has appointed David Bell as Director of the Budget and Walt W. Rostow, of M.I.T., as Assistant Secretary of State for Policy Planning, has already offered three other persons in the Cambridge community, including Bundy, definite jobs. He is expected to offer positions to another four or five men at the two schools...
...Yale Law School's Dean Eugene V. Rostow is "seriously considering" a lottery to pick evenly matched applicants. In culling 250 entrants from 1,200 applicants, Yale Law has no trouble choosing 80 from the superior "A group." Problem is selecting 170 from the remaining "B group," all of them with equal marks.

The rationale of competition, as Rostow has pointed out, is not a necessary one. The recent rapid diffusion of military power leads one to suspect that it will not be long before the influence of these countries will become a heavy one indeed, and the traces of bipolarity remaining from the immediate postwar days will disappear...
