...other areas. Because of the heavy weight given to generals in computing the degree of honors, "take as many gov courses as you can possibly squeeze in" becomes the implicit requirement for those who want to do well. The Department supplements this unwritten rule by also requiring Ec 1 and a year of history...
...internationally proceeded at a minimal pace in order to avoid inciting Southern school boards to massive non-compliance. This hypothetical resistance has clearly been avoided. Last year all but 65 school districts agreed to desegregate and this year as well, massive compliance will probably be the rule.

All this evades the usual U.S. rule that divorces may be granted only by the state where one of the partners actually lives. To enforce that rule, the new law says that a New Yorker retains his domicile unless he gives up his New York residence for 18 months...
