Having been in Moscow during the 1957 Youth Festival, I recall distinctly the impact that the friendly invasion of 15,000 foreigners made on our Soviet hosts. At the time we felt that Moscow would never be the same. I was very happy that your article on the new Soviet youth confirms our "on the spot" observation five years...
...Blough grossly understated the impact of the steel price boosts, Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, who also should have known better, grossly overstated the impact. He passed on to President Kennedy a wild estimate that the steel price increases would add $1 billion to defense costs. That figure was arrived at by assuming that a 3.5% increase in steel prices would result in a 3.5% increase in the price of everything the Defense Department buys, whether it has any steel in it or not. *Along with recording ups and downs of steel prices, the Dow Jones ticker carried a report that...
...Church. Preachers read him, and his thought probably affects a good share of the sermons spoken in U.S. churches any given Sunday, but laymen hardly know his name. He has far fewer disciples in the U.S. than either Niebuhr or Tillich; and even in Germany, young theologians find more impact in the Christian existentialism of Rudolf Bultmann (TIME, April 14, 1961). All this is fine with Barth himself, who dis owns the idea of a school - "except for my two sons" - meaning Markus, 46, a New Testament scholar at the University of Chicago, and Christoph, 44, who teach...
...instance of the impact was the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching (1905). In setting up free pensions for professors in the U.S. and Canada, the foundation had to define a "college," which in turn meant defining "high school." Result: the "Carnegie Unit"-the 120 hours per year that U.S. high schools now accept as standard for each subject. The foundation went on to organize the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association (120,000 current policy-holders), a pioneer among U.S. annuity plans. Most important, the foundation financed the famed 1910 Flexner report criticizing medical schools...
Whatever its long-term impact on collective bargaining patterns, last week's settlement means that the U.S. economy will be spared the distorting effects of a strike in its basic industry, which in 1960 did much to trigger the recession. Some downturn is expected in second-quarter steel production-perhaps as much as 10%-as steel buyers work off the 3,000,000 to 4,000,000 tons of extra inventory that they have piled up in recent weeks as a strike hedge. But inventories are not likely to be cut to the bone so long as the prospect...
