Giggling, he takes the uke from its old cardigan wrapper. Plink-a-plank-aplink. His thin, reedy tones soar into an unearthly falsetto, the vibrato voice quavering like a hummingbird's wings: "Come tiptoe through the tulips with me . . ." In the audience, as at San Francisco's Fillmore Auditorium last week, his listeners are rapt, incredulous, amused-everything but indifferent...

If the Bank loans were generally available, Congress and wealthy donors might even feel justified in reducing the present level of their aid. Since the Zaccharias plan assures that every student can finance his education regardless of its cost, colleges would probably raise student charges to incredibly high levels...
