Ulbricht's economic success rests in part on one of the monstrosities of modern times: the Wall. From 1945 until 1961, when the Communists erected the 28-mile barrier that seals off East Berlin from western parts of the city, 3,600,000 East Germans, including some of the most promising scientists and young workers, fled to the West. The Wall forced those penned behind it to acknowledge that they would be spending the rest of their lives in the East-so why not try to make the best of a bad situation? To encourage the changing mood, Ulbricht...
Some Trouble. The key to success, as a forthcoming study by the Conservation Foundation in Washington, D.C. makes plain, is support from the state. New York's 20 commissions have done little, mainly because Albany has not decided how much legal power, if any, they should have. New Hampshire's 85 conservation commissions are severely hampered by lack of matching grants from the statehouse in Concord, And Rhode Island's 27 have been almost totally neglected by Providence...
...Viking front four have even reached the sobriquet stage: the Four Norsemen (something of a misnomer, since three of the men are Negroes, and only Larsen is of Danish extraction). The key to their success is their cohesive style of play. "They are a highly disciplined group," says Line Coach Bob Hollway. "They don't go crashing all over, each one trying to do the whole job himself. They have a great respect for each other's abilities, and they complement one another perfectly...
...more important than it really is. Of course. if Champi were indispensable to the team. then the decision would have been more crucial. but I don't think anyone who was really informed ever felt that his departure would deal a crushing blow to Harvard's chances for success. Smith had shown himself to be of about the same ability as Champi early in the season. So how big a decision was it. Yovicsin referred to it as "such a big decision." But I think he's carried away with Harvard football. and I'm sure Champi has made bigger...
...took on a new character. American intervention has transformed the Vietnam conflict into a crucial test of American capacity to suppress movements of national liberation. Before Vietnam. it was not at all certain that even a substantially united people could defeat the concentrated power of the United States. The success of the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese has shown that the United States does not have the strength to deliver on its promises of protection to the puppet regimes through which it manipulates internal politics in countries of the Third World. An American withdrawal would confirm this paramount lesson...
