About 3000 alumni will participate in estimating giving capacities and preparing their peers for the final solicitation letter. In spring 1981, Maine will be among the first of the target areas. Three hundred volunteer alumni will form class committees and train themselves in the fine art of fundraising. After several meetings, the volunteers will sponsor a dinner, in an attempt to clinch other area alumni gifts. Each alumnus in the Bangor area will receive a formal case statement on the drive--and then a donation envelope. The whole process should take about six months, Boardman says, adding that virtually...
East Germany leads the Warsaw Pact in per capita meat consumption (86.2 kg), a revealing economic indicator in the Communist world. Thought to have the strongest economy in the bloc, East Germany is the only member to set a higher growth target for this year (4.8%) than last (4.3%).

...accounts for two-thirds of America's gross national product; and during last fall and winter, he fueled the longest peacetime period of economic expansion in modern times by buying goods that he knew would only cost more next month. This attitude has proved to be right on target. In July, the prices paid by wholesalers rose 1.7% or at a yearly rate of 22.4%. But by the beginning of 1980, consumer spending was slowing down, and when the Federal Reserve Board tightened credit in March, the public put away its plastic. As a consequence, the economy fell hard...
