...whips for the Socialists and Free Democrats summoned their delegates to Bonn a day early. The precaution worked. As the Bundestag convened for the Kanzlerwahl (Chancellor's election), each Socialist and Free Democrat was in his place. While the votes were being tabulated, Brandt resorted to his favorite method of relieving tension: he snapped wooden matchsticks, going through an entire box in 20 minutes. Then came the announcement: 251 votes for Brandt, two over the required absolute majority; 235 votes against him; five abstentions, presumably including three by recalcitrant Free Democrats; and four ballots rendered invalid with markings like...

At such restaurants as Romolo's, where Raphael is supposed to have found his model for The Baker's Daughter, or Galeassi's, which also attracts a movie and theatrical crowd, the clergy last week responded as usual to the pleasures of the table, and crumbs of information mingled...

And here Harvard has been disappointed to date...
University officials reject another method of financing-paying for the project out of the University's endowment funds. Though the GSD suggested that Harvard could loan money from its endowment at five per cent interest, Harvard officials point out that endowment funds currently gain about 7 per cent a year and argue that it is vital to keep this return high in an era when all divisions of the University are increasing their demands for funds. "If you take unrestricted money which is now earning interest and use it to meet operating expenses, you just increase the size...
