Amidst cries of "Long live Andorra!" many of the 8,000 natives of the landlocked principality in the Pyrenees converged upon their capital last week. The occasion: their country's 700th birthday. While the blue, yellow and red national flag waved from bunting-bedecked windows and balconies, citizens crowded into the ancient Plaza of the Prince of Benlloch to hail the arrival of Andorra's two sovereign Princes. It was their first meeting ever on Andorran soil, and a cordial though somewhat subdued salute was given Andorra's rulers by the local militia. They fired powder-loaded...
...Economics Department, some professors don't seem to meet Rosovsky's standard. Only about half the tenured faculty members in Economics teach as many as two full courses, and substantially fewer than half teach as many as one full course for undergraduates. Rosovsky, in his "yellow letters," which evaluated the quality of undergraudate education at Harvard, in October, 1974, noted that between 1945 and 1974 the proportion of courses in which undergraduates were enrolled declined 28 per cent...

It is basically a cuisine of survival, in which every last conceivably usable ingredient goes into the pot. How about smoked ducks...
...bird is wrapped in lotus leaves, encased in clay and baked for four hours. The very special guest is allowed to break open the potterized poultry with a golden hammer. In Kweilin's Li River Hotel, the aesthetic highlight is a bowl of bouillon on which float three yellow-eyed ducklings made of egg white. The culinary triumph is a sweet-and-sour fresh-water mandarin fish, confected with ham, onion, potato, sausage, mushroom and ginger. It is sculptured to resemble a squirrel, hence the dish is announced in advance by one interpreter as "tree rat," provoking preprandial nausea...
