...Yamaha motorbikes has turned the picture upside down. Materials-short Japan is a big and growing consumer of American coal, lumber and even soybeans, but in each of the past three years its sales to the U.S. have exceeded its purchases by more than $1 billion. The American shoe, textile, electronics and other industries have not only lost sales and profits to the Japanese but jobs as well.

In recent months, Princeton students have joined the faculty in working out some of the nation's most rational guidelines for deciding where to cut university expenses. Well before that, Goheen helped Princeton discard its white-shoe image. He reduced the social power of fraternity-like "eating clubs," cut the number of prep-school graduates to 70% of the freshman class, steadily recruited black students. In 1968 Princeton went coed. Of its current 5,100 students, 700 are women...
