...standard, but erroneous, defense of the grant is that it was meant not to offer a "political judgment," as London's Sunday Times put it, but merely to help the refugees?there are up to 100,000?who are cared for just beyond Rhodesia's borders by the revolutionary Patriotic Front. Opponents of the guerrillas argue that many of the refugees were forced to flee Rhodesia by Patriotic Front troops. Even if that is true, there is no doubt that many women and children in the camps are in a pitiable state and that their need for Christian charity...
...statistician, Burgess worked as a banker in New York for more than 30 years, first at the Federal Reserve, then at National City (now Citibank), before joining the Treasury in 1953. As Under Secretary for Monetary Affairs, he favored tight money policies, a balanced national budget and the gold standard. He resigned in 1957 when appointed NATO Ambassador, serving until...
Without mincing such words as geo-means, standard deviation and magnitude estimation, an American bases his SQ-status quotient-mainly on money.

Though Townshend remains the Who's musical standard-bearer, it's clear that the other members are now full partners.

"905," a song about a depersonalized future, has a cold, catchy beat recognizably not Townshend's but definitely the Who's. Daltrey has once again taken control of his voice and uses it with as much energy as in the past, and more dramatic flair, controlling the frenzy and leaving the primal screams...
...composers have livened up the musical scene at the University, at the same time demonstrating how great an anomaly the term "classical music" has actually become. The best result of all this is that more concerts have drawn more people, largely because imaginative programs have supplanted some of the standard and decidedly overworked ones. Renowned soloists from all over will also be appearing at Harvard and in Boston, making the list of must concerts appealing to everyone's tastes impossibly long...
