With Ayub's imposing victory, the government-controlled press began soft-pedaling the strident anti-Americanism that it had found a useful tool in the campaign. One top official, Ghulam Nabi Memon, blandly denied having made his widely published charge that the U.S. was financing the Jinnah campaign. After all, Ayub had now been elected to a five-year term, and he badly needed continued U.S. aid-which has totaled nearly $5 billion since...

Okun, a former Yale economist, is a tall, professorial type who before his appointment last November was best known for his pioneering explanation of the gaps between actual and potential gross national product.

The perennial rat fink is R.F. in Southern California and mouse fink or straight arrow (a combination pill and moral paragon) in the Harvard Yard. But though a tool in Florida is a dullard, a tool in the academic machinery of M.I.T. is merely a diligent studier. A tooler at the University of Texas is a showoff, the equivalent of a cake-eater at Detroit's Wayne State, and a vest at George Washington University...
