Thus, they reasoned that it could well be late 1967 or early 1968 before bargaining sessions with Harvard got underway. This would mean a time span of approximately a year and a half between the technical expiration date of the BGMA's last contract and the beginning of the bargaining for a new contract. The union would be able to get only the smallest pay settlements retroactive to the last contract because of the great time span. Thus, they felt that Harvard was operating primarily out of economic motives and not out of consideration for its employees in insisting upon...
...outer" refers to a person who over the span of his career will spend time both in government--in law or academia, for instance--perhaps in several cycles. This kind of mobility of people happens for a variety of reasons and serves various purposes. But the Institute of Politics is the only educational institution I know of which was established with the explicit goal of serving the interests and needs of these people who want to work in more than one realm, for more than one institution, who desire engagement in public service and the "political life" across vocational demarcation...

Meanwhile the hosts had accumulated 9 points in the same time span, which sort of put the game hopelessly out of reach...
...natural for speed reading, and soon other mechanical devices appeared on the market. They all attempted one of three things: to shorten the time per fixation, to decrease the number of fixations, or to increase the span of words which could be read at each fixation. If almost any person could learn to recognize four words flashed on the screen at 1/100 seconds, shouldn't a person be able to read 24,000 words per minute...

With computers keeping the bookkeeping cost within bounds, local banks would reimburse local merchants, then pass their bills on to the cardholders' own banks for collection. In the race to go transcontinental, the giant Bank of America has grabbed an early lead. Last year it began licensing banks outside its California domain to use its highly successful (2,057,000 members, $228 million annual billings) BankAmericard. Fifteen banks have signed up, adding 1,500,000 cardholders...
