...grasp on university government. Although never responsible for raising a university's funds, the faculty has never abdicated its right to spend the money. At a time when intellectuals magniloquently cry out for "excellence," faculties in American universities still insist upon a mediocre chief.

Caviar, Pel'meni and Palaver. Now lunch? No. "You have to walk for your lunch," said the 67-year-old Khrushchev as he led Salinger on a five-mile tour of the estate, meanwhile identifying, with an amateur horticulturist's pride, nearly every bush and tree along the way.

Struck for 2½ days by 700 waiters, cooks, bellhops and elevator operators, Manhattan's gilded Waldorf-Astoria bravely carried on. Accountants clapped j together tuna-fish sandwiches as substitutes for halibut thermidor. At a $25-a-plate dinner attended by Vice President Lyndon Johnson, the lobster bisque was omitted...
