Santa Monica's Rand Corp. is home to some of the nation's most intimidatingly intellectual precisionists. But Rand has left itself open to the burlesque of, say, a Jerry Lewis abstracted-professor routine. Rand mailed out some 20,000 calendars for 1970 festooned with the thoughts of William James, T. S. Eliot and others. Such were the distractions that some of the calendars came out with no June and two Julys, or no January and two Februaries. Rand, which is busy plotting America's future course in dozens of areas, had a programmed explanation...
...this reason, opposition is expected to be vocal, not violent, as the desegregated schools open this week. Taking their cue from State Superintendent of Education Dr. Garvin Johnston, most local school authorities have spent the past several weeks in a frenzy of activity, working to shift equipment and portable classrooms, pleading with teachers to remain on their jobs, and urging parents to give desegregation a chance.

Even the U.S. seems to be improving its image a bit, possibly because most of the Arab leaders are gradually beginning to admit that Washington's policy is no longer wholly pro-Israel. Since...
...upper house "the old people's home." President Nguyen Van Thieu obviously agrees with this derisive view. In the past year, his relations with both houses of the legislature have grown increasingly bitter and suspicious. Last week, in a vote that brought the fight into the open and sowed the seeds of future battles, the lower house yielded halfway-but no more-to a campaign of unprecedented presidential pressure. By separate majority votes, it approved a report that accused three members of cooperating with the Communists. At the same time, it ignored another of Thieu's demands...
