...fact in it-a painstaking process that would be impossible without our reference library. Reporter-Researcher Sue Raffety, while checking this week's cover story on worldwide inflation, came across Writer James Grant's observation that the ancient Lydians invented metallic money.

So far, Harold Wilson's new government has said only that the plan, like all foreign policy issues, was under "review...
...Institute of Politics had already picked a new director--Jonathan Moore, a former high federal official closely associated with Elliot L. Richardson '41--students at the Institute were up in arms about the failure to talk to them first. Some members of the Student Advisory Committee--in cluding Harold Fitzpatrick, a third-year law student and its chairman--sharply critized the Institute for making a decision substantially influencing its future without consulting the people that future would presumably be designed for.
