President Kennedy has read and endorsed the fact-finding team's blueprint. The immediate hurdle is Bolivian President Paz Estenssoro's willingness to risk the first politically unpopular step of making the mines more efficient. The miners are well armed and defiantly opposed to wholesale dismissals. However, President Paz Estenssoro, the man who led the 195 2 revolution, realizes that his movement will fail unless Bolivia solves its problems, and soon. Even the tin miners' Lechin, now the nation's Vice President, may understand that time is growing short. Visiting in Washington six weeks ago, Lechin...

Last week, the most the Air Force would admit, even unofficially, was that the orbiting Samos contained "test photographic and related equipment...
Student Council members also concern themselves with an imagined obligation to represent undergraduate opinion in each of its actions. The Council is justified in polling students and recording results in reports to University officials on unpopular foods, library complaints, or tutorial preferences. But a Council member cannot become preoccupied, as many do, with reflecting the opinion of his constituents. He must "deliberate on the general welfare," if you will. The Council must be a source of original ideas, not simply an agency the processes grievances...
