...weren?t able to get all the way down to 20% fat intake, but they did manage to reduce it to 24% in the first year, though it slid back up to 29% by the sixth year. The other, so-called control group received printed material on dietary guidelines but no other help on healthy eating. The fat content of their diets was 35% after one year and crept up to 37% after six years-and they gained a little weight to boot. (The intervention group lost weight or stayed the same...
...field, and hit. The second leading rusher on the football team this year (averaging 4.2 yards per carry), Hill has stolen 28 bases in three seasons for the Crimson. A good glove in right field, the stalwart holds a remarkable .963 fielding percentage over the last two years-and he was errorless in league play last year...
Some grim spots nonetheless mar the glowing predictions. The nation's harvest of oats will plummet 24% below last year's, to 499 million bu.-the lowest level in 95 years-and the output of barley will drop 19%, to 311 million bu. Part of the reason is that the largest oats- and barley-producing states are bedeviled by drought. Most agricultural counties in the Dakotas, Wisconsin and Minnesota are critically dry; many have been declared disaster areas. The situation is so bad for farmers, says Agronomist Howard Wilkins of North Dakota State University, that "Santa Claus...
...will offer $28,000 next year; its 548 full professors average $20,000. And teachers take it for granted that the average will go even higher. "The senior faculty members expect a review of their salaries every year," complains Harvard's Arts and Sciences Dean Franklin Ford. "No one seems to remember back in the '30s, when it was every four or five years." Also on the rise are college payrolls for nonteaching services. At Kalamazoo College, for example, janitorial salaries have climbed 40% in the past five years-and no one, ruefully notes Columbia's Kirk...
...problems. With 2,600,000 inhabitants (686 persons per sq. mi.), Puerto Rico is one of the world's most densely populated countries. Merely to keep up with the increase in population will require a giant jump in job openings-some 200,000 more in ten years-and Governor Sanchez has made employment the core of his 85-point program. He envisages a heavy-industry zone on the undeveloped southeast coast, with the Phillips complex as its nucleus. For the western region, he wants a scientific center to redress Puerto Rico's lack of research facilities. He also...
