...fourth of all Americans go to school; by the early 1970s, that fraction will be about one-third. There are already 35 million potential voters 35 or younger, and that number will shoot up as the great war-baby crop continues to turn 21. No party can ignore the shift in the political center of gravity, for around this center will swing political success in the future. To be sure, parental conditioning plus ethnic background still give many youngsters their political set. But in the greatest numbers ever, young people who feel no party allegiance are becoming part...

To close the gap between North Korea's backward agriculture and burgeoning industry, Kim seven years ago launched a "Great Leap Forward" of his own.

Some Plymouths have reading lights over the rear seat. Others have a redesigned door that is difficult to open in order to prevent accidental fallouts. Practically all of the cars offer more powerful engines this year. Lincoln increased the size of its engine from...
...School. It is no secret that the primary Harvard emphasis has, by and large, been placed on research rather than teaching, and that the career motivations and academic rewards of the young faculty member are linked more closely to the former than the latter. With our prososed shift in priorities toward doctoral training and the concomitant strengthening of the research spirit at the School, the quality of our teaching will be ever more in danger of being overlooked for the sake of what are considered more important concerns...
