...there are undercurrents of ill-feeling despite the bipartisan support. The city administration is clearly miffed that Kennedy gets top billing in all the publicity, and one very high official dismisses the Kennedy corporations. "He's done the easiest part," says that official. "It'll all get swallowed up by the Model Cities program...

...with eliminating regressions and decreasing subvocalization. The student is instructed to use his closed fingers as a pacer to his eyes, running them under each line of print. According to past research, the fixation time spent in regressions equals ten per cent of total reading time. This is the easiest technique in the course and is acquired with little practice...

...Corps (called "eye" corps) is the most nettlesome of South Viet Nam's four tactical combat zones. The closest to North Viet Nam, it has always been easiest for Hanoi to infiltrate, keep supplied-and influence. Its citizens are chiefly Annamese; they once ruled Viet Nam from Hue, were among the earliest supporters of the Viet Minh against the French and make a fetish of xenophobia.

...graduate programs seem easiest to sell. Chicago clearly ranked in the top ten in last summer's infamous survey of Graduate School education. But it never placed number one. Chicago newspapers played up the university's high standing, while simultaneously undercutting the survey's pretensions and criteria for judgement. The U of C's seven professional schools (Business, Divinity, Education, Law, Library, Medicine and Social Service Administration) likewise rank high, but none have an assured position in first place. Chicago can proudly claim 27 Nobel Prize winners in some form of affiliation, including its current President, George W. Beadle...
