...great enterprises, whether in war or peace. The Manhattan Project, which built the atom bomb, and the Marshall Plan, which rebuilt shattered Europe after World War II, remain classic examples of this talent. Today's Apollo program is yet an other demonstration of how seemingly insoluble problems can yield to a systematic approach. The question naturally arises: why can the same skills not be used on the same scale to end poverty and traffic congestion, to clean up pollution and save the cities...
...between Vance and Lau, held in secrecy in a Paris suburb, was followed by a shorter one the next day. Then the agreement was announced-matter-of-factly, with a minimum of polemics and with neither side claiming a diplomatic victory. Said U.S. Chief Negotiator Averell Harriman, who will yield his post to Henry Cabot Lodge this week: "We did not give in, and we did not expect them to give in.

Bond dealers are afraid that even the high yields on fixed-interest securities are too low, relative to the rate of inflation.

With somewhat less justification, stockbrokers worry that investors will switch out of stocks and into bonds because the difference in yields is so enormous. This month, the average yield on Triple-A corporate bonds climbed to 6.47%, while...
...first leg, but Colburn and Enscoe narrowed the margin to only a yard as the anchor men received the batons. Shaw was, running for the Crimson against Larry Lemaster, the winner in the 600-yard run. Shaw attempted to pass Lemaster on three straightaways, but Lemaster refused to yield and hit the tape half-a-yard ahead of Harvard's ace to give his team...
