...Stanford sends its applicants a five-book reading list (including Richard Barnet's Roots of War and Robert Heilbroner's An Inquiry into the Human Prospect) in the spring. But some programs take a less intellectual approach. For instance, about 85 adults have signed up for a seven-day course in crime and justice at the University of Oregon this month. In one class a private detective is scheduled to demonstrate how to protect a house from burglars. Many of Oregon's students have not attended a traditional college at all. However, Grace Graham, director...

By the time Air Force One jet touched down in Rome last week, on the final stop of an exhausting seven-day tour that included a North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit and a meeting in Salzburg with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, Ford was described by an Italian official as looking as worn out "as a squeezed lemon."

Kissinger obviously will not be welcome at Rabat, but he is confident that his gradualist strategy will be put forward by President Anwar Sadat of Egypt...
Therg were several nagging omens as Secretary of State Henry Kissinger flew from Washington last week for a seven-day journey of mediation through the Middle East, his sixth such trek in the past two years. Kissinger reached Cairo on the first leg of his flight to seven capitals (the others: Damascus, Amman, Jerusalem, Riyadh, Algiers and finally Rabat) during the Moslem penitential month of Ramadan. The Secretary of State was unable to meet with fasting President Anwar Sadat until after sundown; Kissinger thus had to while away several hours sightseeing. As he flew out of Cairo, a Secret Service...
