That will be only one of at least 15 changes the President is expected to make in the ranks of U.S. ambassadors. The President made it clear that major posts in Paris, London, Moscow and Bonn would not be included. But some upheaval seemed likely in upper State Department echelons too. Averell Harriman, Under Secretary for Political Affairs, will probably be out before long-in fact, he has already been offered an ambassadorial post but has turned it down. And former Michigan Governor G. Mennen ("Soapy") Williams, who is now Assistant Secretary for African Affairs, may well...
...courses. But the recent history of Gen Ed shows that students who are not majoring in science simply do not take "hard" lab sciences voluntarily. Nor do professors in the scientific fields offer Gen Ed courses which would appeal to the non-concentrator. (There are virtually no upper level Gen Ed science courses.) There is no reason to believe that these problems, two of the most serious bedeviling Gen Ed, will be remedied by a distribution requirement...

It was set up by a perfect pass up the boards from Bob Clark; McCullough's shot whizped into the upper right corner of the net, just over Bellemore's shoulder...
...bullet fragment had followed. Slowed by smashing through his skull, it had landed in the left transverse sinus (a large vein). Then it had ''flowed" in the blood stream along the transverse sinus, down the main jugular vein and superior vena cava, into the right auricle (upper chamber) of the heart and through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. Thanks to the heart's muscular contractions, the fragment had worked halfway through the heart wall. If it had gone all the way, Kelley, who was ready to go home last week, would probably have died-just...
...weighed, the committee hands down its decision in a terse alphabetical shorthand. At Moody's, which pioneered the rating system back in 1909, the four top grades are Aaa, Aa, A and Baa, ranging from prime quality to faintly speculative. Standard & Poor's goes in for the upper case: AAA, AA, A and BBB. Dun & Bradstreet, which also owns Moody's but makes its own independent assessments, spells out its scale: prime, better good, good, medium good...
