...what, it might be asked, do businessmen have to do with the intellectuals? The function of a businessman, in Miss Rand's scheme of existence, is to distribute to the general public the technical advances discovered in the scientist's laboratory. In an analagous manner, the intellectual must keep before the people the latest philosophic ideas on human existence. Businessmen and intellectuals then, are middlemen in the ideal free-enterprise system...
...representation in the future on College problems such as parking, educational policy, togetherness with Radcliffe, the size of the College, and diplomas is not only practical, but decidedly necessary. Undoubtedly considerable time will be required for the Council to gain the respect and trust required to execute its representative function adequately, but the Leed-Zagat approach in this respect seems far more congenial to progress than the limited coordinator view of Council functions...
...elected seat more competitive will result in more imaginative and capable men being elected, with less unopposed contests.

Another strength in the plan is that the Council would become smaller; along with the added prestige commanded by a small group should...
Because Ben A. had about one-fortieth the normal kidney function, or roughly half what is needed to maintain life, he could let the poisons pile up in his blood for a few days. Surgeon David Dillard opened an artery and a vein in Ben's left arm and implanted a plastic tube in each. He brought the ends of the tubes out over the forearm, hooked them together to form a bypass that let the blood flow through freely, to prevent clotting. When the small skin wounds healed, physicians connected the tubes to the artificial kidney. This filtered...
...gratuitous slaps at Henry Luce out of the way, I can proceed to 325 itself. It is perhaps less pretentious than its immediate predecessors in its ex cathedra judgments and one-sentence reviews, but it still suffers from a normal yearbook failing: it attempts to transcend its primary function of reporting and to pass on to the higher level of analysis and art. In the process, 325 manages to do an incompetent job on both levels. The yearbook's version of the year just passed is not convincing now, and, unless my memory goes very...
