...trip flight each (two a week during the summer season) by Pan American World Airways and Aeroflot, the U.S.S.R.'s government-owned airline. Though U.S. and Soviet officials agreed more than a year ago to start such flights, the Russians were understandably reluctant to pit their obsolescent turboprop TU-114s against the much faster (600 m.p.h.) Boeing 707-320C jetliners that Pan Am plans to use on the runs. The IL-62, with a 560-m.p.h. cruising speed only slightly slower than the Boeing, was the obvious Soviet answer, but it had been beset by bugs ever since...
There were all the boys atop the reviewing stand at Tienanmen Square as usual, dressed in their formless grey tu nics, trousers and caps and led by Mao Tse-tung himself. The grouping showed no real change in the hierarchy, but last week's celebration of China's Na tional Day was still unusual. Only 500,-000 gathered at Peking's Gate of Heavenly Peace, compared with last year's 1,500,000. The parade lasted only two hours instead of the previous four. In place of last year's 20-ft. colossus, there...
Long the course shopper's Via Condotti, the Fine Arts Department is offering at least two bargains this autumn. The first is Fine Arts 152a (Tu.

Fahy teaches Fifteenth Century Italian Art with a sympathy for both his subject and his students. For Low Country fans, there is Prof. van Regteran Altena, who wowed his first class by delivering a forty-minute lecture in verse (on Seventeenth Century Dutch Art). The rest...
...majors have long suffered from the wonk image, but all this time they have been quietly laughing the last laugh and taking Ec 101 (Tu. Th. 2:30-4:00), The Economy of the United States, and Ec 108 (M. W. F. at 9, Spring Term), Economic Development and Underdevelopment. Both courses are taught by charming, interesting lecturers who have the courtesy not to lean too hard on the red pencil...
...fact in mind, there are two especially intriguing courses to look at. Michael Walzer's Gov 104 (M. W. F. at 10) will anguish over one's obligation to one's government, and potential CO's will find good company and good ideas there. Prof. McCloskey's Gov 107 (Tu. Th. S. at 10), American Political Thought, allows students to make their own reading lists...
