Your editorial of January 21, noting that research on the underdeveloped non-Western areas in underdeveloped, suggests that some of Harvard's new Ford Foundation funds for "International affairs" should be used for "non-Western studies to rectify this imbalance. While "non-Western" area specialists like myself can only applaud this innately statesmanlike view, it does overlook the basic fact that the three "non-Western" programs in Russian, are now receiving support from a Ford Middle Eastern, and East Asian studies Foundation grant of 1960 which was set up to run for ten years and so is only half...
...large amounts from foundations. Years of committee meetings, memoranda, plans and consultations lie behind this latest development in "international studies," and these new funds have long since been allocated to meet specific needs. The "bread line" you mention operated long ago. Meanwhile all of us supporters of "non-Western" studies can view the future with confidence and take heart from the fact that chairman Mao and his associates are basically on our side. J.K.

Bertha, Bettina & Dodo. It is owned and operated by Alain Bernardin, a successful restaurateur who decided to branch out into the nightclub business and wanted a Wild West décor.

He is well liked in Western ecumenical circles but virtually unknown to Orthodoxy and the "new churches" of Asia and Africa, which are playing an increasingly important role in the council. Surprised by last August's action were Visser 't Hooft, who was not consulted, and Rodger himself, who was given 24 hours to decide whether...
Belated Burst. There is little argument about one thing: British steel, like most of British industry, is not all it should be. In a belated burst of modernization, many British steel companies have caught up technologically with the rest of Western Europe in the last five years, and Britain's low wages (an average of $41.80 a week in steel) enable them to price some steel lower than Common Market steel. But steel productivity in Britain is lower than in the Common Market and only half of productivity in the U.S. During a strike last year, analysts found that...
