...widespread suburban acceptance of Connecticut's Project Concern evaporates rapidly whenever it is proposed that the white children be bused into Bridgeport schools, or when it is suggested that the ratio of black children in classes be increased. And while black parents of children who entered the program are generally grateful for the opportunities presented, black educators are not. They see such one-way plans as a Northern form of tokenism that leaves the majority of black children trapped in inadequate and underfinanced ghetto schools...
Farber said yesterday that "there will probably be 50 fewer men and 120 additional women in next year's freshman class, because of President Bok's proposed 2.5:1 ratio." He said he anticipates a "net gain of from 70 to 100" in the total number of freshmen admitted next year...
...reserves stood at $3.6 billion, of which $2.3 billion was in foreign exchange, most of it in dollars, and a mere $800 million in gold. By the end of September, its reserves had risen to $5 billion and, though no breakdown is yet available, the dollar-to-gold ratio is estimated to be even larger. Another country that would be hurt by a dollar devaluation is Canada. In its $5 billion reserve it holds only $800 million in gold and $3.5 billion in currency, mostly U.S. dollars...
...secure special privileges for the camp's Jewish contingent. Between the laughs and the plot twists lurks the question of where ethnic solidarity begins and ends. Epstein, the funniest of the tales, focuses on that universal malady, middle age. Epstein's morale has drooped in exact ratio to the sag of his wife Goldie's breasts.

But, under Jehovah's unblinking eye, there is no sin without...
...sorry to read Mr. Reardon's statement in the October 20 Crimson about changing enrollment and only hope that in this case he was quoted out of context. The essence of President Bok's policy is to increase the total undergraduate enrollment while improving the ratio between men and women. The implication in Reardon's statement that an increase in the number of undergraduate women will diminish the number of "interesting people and events at Harvard" is. I feel, most unfortunate.
