Wasaily W. Leontief, Lee Professor of Economics, received an honorary degree in Paris from the Sorbonne last week. The bonoris cause degree cited his development of "input-output" analysis and cooperation with French colleagues...
...call her "Miss Markit Mit"). She has written 26 books and hundreds of articles about her findings in Oceania, her observations on Western society, and her conception of anthropology (a science that can "protect the future" by shedding light on "what man has been and is"). Though this prodigious output has brought her many honors, she has also received her share of criticism. Some scientists have charged that her methods are imprecise and that her broad pronouncements on contemporary culture are speculative and insubstantial (TIME, March...
Materially, the rescue missions' output is prodigious. They served 14 million meals in North America last year, according to one estimate?usually without any public financial aid and often at a low cost that public institutions would envy.

Attached to each instrument was a transducer, which converted the instrument's output into electronic signals.

Previous postwar conversions were economic turning points: consumers rushed to buy goods that had been scarce during the fighting, and the Government choked off defense spending in favor of domestic projects. By contrast, the Viet Nam War never required quite enough of the nation's output to cause such shortages in civilian goods, and the U.S.'s spending on it has shrunk considerably in the past three years. Says Economist Edward Fried of Washington's Brookings Institution: "The peace dividend has virtually been paid...
