Slice & Spin. Just as they cut tiny pieces of human tissue into microscopically thin slices to study the progress of disease, pathologists tend to slice up their own specialty. One main branch is called anatomic pathology, and its devotees concern themselves with structural changes in tissues, usually seen at autopsy. But it is also the anatomic pathologist who examines the piece of tissue from a patient still on the operating table and tells the surgeon whether or not it is cancerous...
...areas, mostly within 100 miles of land, where a concentration of effort has often led to a depletion of valuable fish. The Russians off Cape Cod, for example, are out for herring rather than the hake, haddock and cod that most American fishermen are after-but the other species tend to disappear after the herring, their natural food, becomes scarce. Industrial pollution in such nations as Japan and the U.S. has tended to drive the fish farther from shore and to make worse the lot of the smaller inshore fisherman...
Japanese students tend to hold themselves apart as a separate class and seem to believe that the only way to demonstrate true political concern is by vociferous denunciation of the present government, according to Reischauer.

Members of small halls like Bertram must give up the intimacy of their own cozy dining rooms during South House lunches. Because of these immediate difficulties, a number of students have opposed the plan without giving it a fair trial. In fact, today, just one week after the beginning of the experiment, the residents of Bertram Hall will boycott it by taking box lunches or eating in the Graduate Center. Radcliffe...
What is wrong? Most frequent cause of trouble is the inability of management to keep pace with the increasing complexity and costliness of doing business. Small manufacturers-who are not as diversified or as well-financed as the large companies-tend to find themselves squeezed for profits, short on capital, and without enough technical talent. Says President Matthew Meyers of Los Angeles' Alvo Nut & Bolt Co.: "We're paying more to make the product itself; yet because of competition, we are selling it for less and less...
