Whether that will ease-or aggravate-critics' concerns about Government intrusion, though, remains to be seen. Last week, a panel of 69 distinguished businessmen and educators-including former Education Commissioner Harold Howe, Urban League Executive Director Vernon Jordan, Rockefeller Foundation President John Knowles and World Bank President Robert McNamara-issued a statement on the subject. "There is a risk that the academic freedom of our colleges and universities will one day be compromised by the unrestrained growth of the influence of Government," they warned.

It's almost two different classes...

When the blockbuster loan show called "Pompeii A.D. 79" was seen in London, a million people went to it; one may assume that on its tour of Boston, Chicago, Dallas and New York City in 1978-79, that figure will be exceeded. The exhibition, which opened last week at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, includes more than 300 objects, from encaustic wall paintings to bronze figures, pots and glass, on loan from the National Archaeological Museum of Naples and the Pompeii Antiquarium. There are even two plaster corpses...
