...Twelfth Amendment (passed in 1804), the slates of electors chosen in this week's national voting will meet in their various state capitals on Dec. 16 to cast ballots for President and Vice President of the U.S. Each state has a number of electoral votes equal to its total number of Senators and Representatives in Congress. Thus New York, for example, with 41 Representatives and two Senators, has 43 electoral votes. The District of Columbia lacks congressional representation but has three electoral votes by virtue of the 23rd Amendment, ratified...
True. But not quite that simple. In 1961, the U.S. owned precisely ten ICBMS, and the Russians had only 50% of this-just five missiles. In 1968, Secretary of Defense Clark Clifford has noted, the U.S. has a total of 1,054 land-based missiles, while the Russians have installed...
Balancing Downward. Sullivan, who believes that "you can't have quality education in a multiracial society without total integration," has spent four years working to achieve that goal. When he came to Berkeley in 1964, several hundred high school students of both races were riding buses to attend the city's only high school. Sullivan immediately extended integration downward to junior high; a year later he started bussing Negro children from lower grades into white schools. When he integrated the city's nursery schools for three-and four-year-olds in 1966, he discovered that "the neighborhood...
...deepest cuts have been made in the basic-research programs of the National Science Foundation, which also provided about 8,000 new fellowships for graduate students last year. Congress sliced $95 million from the NSF projects, a 19% cut from last year's total. The research funds of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration were left almost intact, but NASA's support of graduate students was almost abandoned. NASA offered 1,335 new fellowships in 1966, but only about 45 this year. The U.S. Office of Education, which had hoped to begin major demonstration projects in new teaching...
Bailed Out by Caltech. Stanford officials expect to lose $7 million from the school's total research budget of $46.1 million, which means that the university will operate at least $700,000 in the red this year. Assistant Dean Richard Leahy of Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences predicts that some graduate students will have to drop out because of a 25% cut in research support. Harvard's Graduate School of Education may have to abandon a promising study of how preschool children develop. Caltech will have to provide at least...
