Only one of the University's more than 30 fields and departments offers tutorial instruction to non-Honors juniors and seniors. Although the English Department's unique program is both voluntary and non-credit, about 70 per cent of the 221 non-Honors concentrators attend their group meetings regularly, according to David D.

Under the old program, non-Honors candidates had "advisors," who signed study cards and tutored them intensively during the three-or-four-week cramming period before generals.

...Gilder has made the same gross omissions that he attributed to both these contributors. His argument that less expensive countermeasures will eventually damage the effectiveness of fallout shelters is not without merit.

These considerations spring from the world consensus that mankind has a bleak future in a permanent "armsathon," and that no effort to call a halt is too great or too soon.

The inhabitants have fears and beliefs, both real and forged, but sufficient to cause them to react to every move on our part quite as we react to every move on theirs. A shelter program of the size required to make it effective would provoke the Russians not unreasonably to a defensive anger, give them (and uncommitted nations) greater reason to suspect our intentions, compel them to react with countermeasures, and result finally in widening the lift between our two worlds. There is an important difference between...
