Harvard now looks forward to a rather Spartan menu of courses dealing with India: Social Sciences 116 (a half course introduction to the Civilization of India) and Anthropology 140ab (a course to be given the year after next on Significant Aspects of the Social Organization of India. Sanskrit and Pali (neither of which is spoken) are the two language offerings in the area. There are two courses devoting a few weeks to Indian art: Fine Arts 13 and Humanities 120.

He works in a Spartan office in Leverkusen, but drives home three miles each noon for lunch with his pretty wife...
...part along with some 30,000 Germans. This summer 6,345 Europeans out of more than 20,000 applicants, aged 16 to 25, have given up vacation time to work in staggered two-week shifts near war cemeteries in France, Britain, Luxembourg, Italy and Austria.
