...seeming regularity of Vegas coming off the line at Lordstown. Originally set up by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching to examine the financing of higher education, the commission's task quickly broadened. Its 104 reports, running in size from a 978-page statistical survey to slim booklets of less than 40 pages, have probed such diverse facets as student dissent and dental education.

(The ideal mouse, according to Mouse Club guidelines, must be "long and slim in body, with a long, clean head, neither square nor too pointed at the nose. The eyes should be large, bold and prominent; the ears large, free from creases, carried erect and set wide apart.") The strategy-quiet diplomacy, rather than noisy, ratlike demonstrations-paid off.
