...sound U.S. economy meant not only a U.S. that could continue to meet its obligations of free-world leadership; it served as a springboard for vast creative forces. With postwar U.S. help the industrial nations of the West had built their economies to the point where they could begin to tear down the trade barriers that are always a sign of weakness. They could start to share with the U.S. in the immense and compelling job of aiding the world's underdeveloped lands. Those lands, with examples of successful free enterprise ranging from West Germany to Japan, were beginning...
Ending Parties. Last March Ayub settled himself in his teak-paneled study in the huge President's House at Karachi and wrote the outline for his "basic democracies," which are intended "to begin at the beginning and, after building a strong, democratic base, to construct the structure above." What emerged was a political system based on the ancient institution of the village panchayat (council of elders).

He even waved a tiny U.S. flag, mustered an almost benign expression...
...Classes. Finding the needed $6.2 billion might well begin with revamping antiquated college management, which Ford Foundation Economist Philip H. Coombs calls "a relatively primitive art, even in institutions that offer a Ph.D. in accounting." Waste of facilities is all too common. Coombs cites one survey of more than 100 schools: "On the basis of a 44-hour week, the institutions used their available classrooms at only 46% of capacity . . . their laboratories at only 38% of capacity." If they go on this way, the schools will need more tuition dollars for expansion, leaving less for salaries...
