Breckenfeld came by his expertise in environmental problems through his long association with two former Time Inc. magazines, Architectural Forum and House & Home. Born in San Francisco, he was graduated from the University of California (Berkeley) in 1941 and, after four years in the Army, spent five years on the San Francisco Examiner before coming to Architectural Forum in 1951.

Mathematician Verner Hoggatt Jr., editor of the Quarterly, has gone to the extent of establishing the Fibonacci Bibliographical and Research Center at San Jose State College.

...York Times believes is the bell-weather of universities. Harvard Black studies has been approved and the black students had to shut up. Harvard's "landmark" action showed only that the power structure, who happen to be more academic here than elsewhere, have taken the time to read about San Francisco State and what could happen, and Stanford and what has happened. So along comes King Collins...
