...leaders last week knuckled under and called off a planned series of strikes. With labor brought to heel, at least temporarily, Onganía's government pressed ahead with its austerity program. Though keeping a tight lid on wages, the government announced a 100% hike in postal and telegraph rates, a 23% increase in water and gas rates and a stiff new tax reform that raises many taxes, adds some new ones and provides penalties of up to 500% for tardy payers. To add insult to injury, Onganía showed that he was not in the least fearful...

Moore wants to be certain that his works can be publicly displayed, but the gallery still needs to raise $2,100,000 for a new wing. Nonetheless, Moore plans to announce an itemized gift list next year on his 70th birthday.

Justice's antitrust lawyers demanded a postponement and reconsideration of the move because of the possibility of "competitive dangers." Last week, after more hot debate, the commission...
Academic controversy is currently not limited to California. At the moment, another but lesser battle of words rages over Harvard's new Institute of Politics, supported by the John F. Kennedy Library Corporation. British Journalist Henry Fairlie ignited the fuss with an article in London's Sunday Telegraph and the Washington Post, charging that the institute is a vehicle for the Kennedy family "to move in on Harvard" in order to nourish brainpower for its future political staffs. One sign of this takeover, claimed Fairlie, is that Harvard's 30-year-old Graduate School of Public Administration...
