...Intelligence Agency. It was obliquely referred to as "the pickle factory" or "our friends" or "across the river" or, more openly, "the agency" or "the company." When the CIA's $46 million headquarters opened along George Washington Memorial Parkway in suburban Langley, Va., in 1961, the deceptive highway sign said only BPR, for Bureau of Public Roads. Even Soviet KGB agents laughed at that. Finally the sign was changed to read: CIA. Now candor has gone further. For the first time, a photographer-from TIME-has been allowed to take some pictures of the people and operations inside...

Oregon has legalized DMSO and soon may approve saccharin, which has already been okayed by Indiana. (Apparently heeding FDA warnings that saccharin may cause cancer, legislators in Arizona...
...sign of the co-operation between coaches and admissions office is the current loosening of the once-rigid attitude against coaches' travel. While Harvard still enforces the ban, the protests of a number of coaches may have had some impact. L. Fred Jewett '57, dean of admissions and financial aid, who has the final decision on the issue of coaches' travel, says he does not think such a form of recruitment is necessarily wrong. "I'm not so hung up on the philosophical issue of whether coaches should travel," Jewett says, adding, "I simply would not argue that this...
