...Coalition (WCC) has emerged as the "only unified voice" for women's colleges. The WCC, founded in 1972 as a project of the Association of American Colleges, functions both as an information source and an advocate for single-sex education, director Sharp explains. In the past year, however, its scope has expanded past what one Washington lobbyist labels "pure public relations." Last month, for example, the WCC sponsored a day-long conference in Washington which brought together a variety of HEW officials and women's college presidents, including Horner. Following an opening address from Harris, the group discussed a variety...
...Union at war was the "Leningrad" Symphony, Dmitri Shostakovich's Seventh. In 1942, when Arturo Toscanini and the NBC orchestra performed it on radio for the first time in America, the New York Times music critic remarked that "the ballyhoo has never been surpassed in history for the scope of the publicity and the distribution of the music."

There should also clearly be a major effort to direct public on-the-job training and employment programs towards the nation's energy needs. In addition, we must encourage a new emphasis on community-based conservation efforts already in place in scattered locales. In Fitchburg, Massachusetts, the town's leaers have united around...
...inclination of all Cabinet departments is to narrow the scope for presidential decision, not to expand it. They are organized to develop a preferred policy, not a range of choices. If forced to present options, the typical department will present two absurd alternatives as straw men bracketing its preferred option-which usually appears in the middle position. A totally ignorant decision maker could satisfy his departments by blindly choosing Option Two of any three choices submitted...
