Jack Kennedy, 43, says that he did have a "partial adrenal insufficiency." He laid it to a war-born case of malaria, which itself required treatment through 1949. To supplement adrenal output, Kennedy took regular doses of cortisone from 1947 to 1951 and again from 1955 to 1958. He still takes oral doses of corticosteroids (cortisone-type medication) "frequently, when I have worked hard," although a recent test showed his adrenals to be functioning normally. Whether his is an arrested case of Addison's disease or a borderline adrenal insufficiency is unclear. In two years of almost ceaseless campaigning...
Under the new system most youngsters will only get eight years of regular school, will then be sent out to work at a specialized trade. Only the brightest will be permitted to attend the Russian equivalents of high school and apply to universities. Even they will get part-time vocational training in field or factory to learn "the delights of labor"-and incidentally, hedge the state's bet on their brains. The universities and top technical institutes are so overcrowded that they can admit only about one in four secondary school graduates. Result: a potentially dangerous class of frustrated...
Although the heavies proved effective and smooth in long races during the regular season, they simply did not have the power to defeat the Midshipmen in the shorter race. Rough water also hampered the crew...
Certainly the presence of women set the Summer School poles apart from the winter session. During the regular term, for example, Radcliffe girls were not permitted to walk through the Yard without an escort. In the summer, however, more than 50 per cent of the students were women, mostly teachers from the Boston area. The number of women necessitated a genteel pattern of social mixing. In place of the current 50 cent mixers, engraved invitations were delivered to each man, graciously requesting "the pleasure of your company at Memorial Hall to meet the ladies of the Summer School...
...make it work smoothly takes plenty of careful planning. Pitt is busily revising its curriculum for trimester students, is splitting up courses traditionally tied together on a two-semester basis, e.g., Trig 1, Trig 2. To the horror of the students, exams have been squeezed into the regular schedule of each semester, instead of being allotted a week of their own. Pitt is also working on state agencies to revise the professional requirements for graduates. A law student at Pitt, for example, could finish law school in two years, but the Pennsylvania State Board of Bar Examiners has required three...
