Under Shapiro's plan, repayment would be geared directly to income. A former student would pay back nothing until his taxable income was more than $4,000 a year. The repayment sum would be 2.25% of taxable income at that level, rising progressively to 19.4% at the $10,000 level. Shapiro estimates that the average student loan would be paid back in ten years. The deficit created by a minority of defaulters and former students who fail to reach the pay-back income level would be met by assessing prospering graduates above the $5,500 income level a slight...
...Doty Committee, in sum, has abandoned the Messianic preoccupation with "universal" General Education and narrowed its attention to-everyday problems at Harvard. The theme of its final report will surely not be, as a distinguished reviewer once said of the Redbook, that "Harvard Wants to Join America" but rather that "Harvard Wants to Mind Its Own Business."

I hope they will help to calm the nerves...
...stay there, Lloyd George showered his supporters with promises and promotions. His aides peddled peerages to all wealthy bidders, and the Tory treasurer, an undisclosed bankrupt who was later to be rewarded with an earldom, secretly diverted to Lloyd George's own political slush fund a vast sum that the Conservatives had raised from their supporters. To appease all segments of both parties, Lloyd George by turns advocated peace in Europe and war in the Middle East; he urged rapprochement with Soviet Russia and vowed uncompromising hostility to the Bolsheviks; he paid lip service to free trade...
