...average contribution of $2300 from every living alumnus is needed. Yale's class of 1954 currently holds the record for any single class at any college with $1,636,000 donated. (1636 is the year of Harvard's founding and some officials suggested that Yale might have fudged the total a little to gall its ancient rival.) The Harvard Class of '54 had more than $1.3 million in the till in May, and fund-raising officials are confident that both the goal and Yale's record are within reach...
With more than $1.5 million already in hand, Abrams said he was confident that by the end of the week gifts would total "substantially more" than $1.6 million, beating out the current record set by this year's 25th reunion class at Yale.

At The New York Times, the game is total, Machiavellian office politics. Executive editor Abe Rosenthal sits like Jehovah on his throne, flashing thunderbolts from his fingertips at any lower-echelon staffer who incurs his disfavor. Former Crimson president Richard Meislin '75 snagged a Times job right out of college as Rosenthal's copyboy--bottom of the ladder that...
...REPORTING from southern Africa's hot spot, Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, is serving up another object lesson in how biased the American media can be. The failing this time is the same one as always--almost total reliance on official sources of information. Americans reading of the recent elections in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe fell prey to the old New Hampshire Primary Gimmick--you predict your percentage of the vote, well below what your polls and organization are telling you in private, and when you beat the percentage, you've won. George McGovern didn't win the New Hampshire primary in 1972, nor did Eugene McCarthy...
