...rather than of] logical demonstration" in education, he also believes that universities have failed to meet their social obligation to guide public policy makers: "Beneath these complaints [of government officials about higher education spokesmen's attitudes to Washington] lies a deeper concern. The quality of government regulation does not depend simply on the intelligence and judgment of public officials but on the adequacy of the information and advice that these officials receive to assist them in their work. According to many critics, higher education has done a poor job in meeting this responsibility...
...certain amount of "politics"--UHall administrators describe it as far less than "tension"--is built into the concept of career administration: all members of the bureaucracy depend on Rosovsky's approval to advance in the ranks and to hold "line responsibilities" regardless of title in the hierarchy.

Right now, after slowing to a mild 2.9% early in the year, inflation is once again moving up slightly: in April the rate climbed to 4.9%, due largely to higher costs for food and fuel. As a result, several polls, including one by the Conference Board, a business-sponsored...
Like her American counterpart, Rippon was brought in to help raise the ratings of her network's prime-time news. The government-chartered BBC does not accept advertising, but does depend on ratings to justify the ever-rising license fees (currently $32.75 a year for a color set) that pay most of BBC'S bills. The network claims that 1.5 million more Britons watch its evening news than view that of its rival, the commercial Independent Television Authority. But audience measurement is an unrefined science in Britain, and the ITV'S news had long been considered...
