...success of the Regional Studies Program at the graduate level elicits an almost automatic question: Why shouldn't undergraduates be allowed to concentrate in Regional Studies? Many of the people most able to benefit from such a program, those who are entering public service, business, and journalism, often do not wish to take graduate training. A Ph.D. is not necessary for a career in journalism; often the public service career men enter government service directly, and those wishing to enter business usually prefer to go to business school, if they wish any graduate training at all. It would seem that...
...Good Life. Riding his success, Feehan quit his job with RFE, now earns some $800 a month by outside projects, mostly writing German and American screenplays. His take from Munich-Go-Round: $40 a column, a pittance by U.S. standards, but the highest rate in Munich. On his combined earnings, Feehan lives with a stunning, British-born wife in a small house in Munich's fashionable Harlaching suburb.

To Sputnik-struck hearers, he praised Russia's technical success, then won a thunder of applause with a blow for the Lord ("Beyond scientific reality there is a divine reality"). Everywhere Montini pleaded: "Come to our mission and hear us.' What are we talking about? The usual things? Yes, but do you really know them? The same old story? Yes, but better say the eternal story. Useless matters? No, useful...
...psychosis." But after the blinding flash of enlightenment that Christian mystics call union with the divine, his contact with the world is restored and he can return to his former life, "the same person, but altogether different." Progoff agrees with the author of The Cloud that this ultimate success may regulate "his conduct ao agreeably, both in body and in soul, that it will make him most attractive to every man and woman who sees him." It may also make him "well able to render judgment, if the need should arise, for people of all natures and dispositions...
