...schism between these two groups is wider than ever. The liberal intellectual coalition with labor is breathing only with difficulty. The Vietnam war has choked off what few channels of communication existed between the academic community and the Democratic Administration...
That "bureau thing" was, in one sense, only another office battle about careers and advancement. But it also had far wider implications about how the Times is run and by whom. The paper has more editorial direction than most of the nation's dailies. Even so, it often appears to be a kind of symposium of independent correspondents. The Times's trio of top editors-Turner Catledge, Clifton Daniel and A. M. Rosenthal-have long wanted to assert more authority and central purpose, notably in regard to the Washington bureau...
There is no doubt that chloramphenicol, better known by Parke, Davis & Co.'s trade name of Chloromycetin, is a potent and valuable antibiotic. That has been clear since 1947, when it was found to kill a wider variety of bacteria than penicillin or other early antibiotics. Better yet, it was one of the first drugs to show activity against some odd ball microbes called rickettsiae.

...have dared just 60 days away from volume production. Off came two pieces of chrome across the hood and trunk lid-no matter that his fa ther had introduced them in 1935. Next, Knudsen reached for what the youth of the day wanted. He brought out a 21 in. wider and flashier model to appeal to young drivers. Soon, Pontiac sales jumped from sixth place to third in the U.S. market, and they have remained there ever since. When Knudsen switched to being boss of Chevrolet, G.M.'s largest division, he turned in another dazzling sales record. After more...

By 1965, the centennial of Nielsen's birth, his music was nudging into the general repertory. The number of Nielsen recordings on the U.S. market jumped from three in 1960 to 35 at the end of 1967; last year alone, 16 were issued. Today he is a "new" discovery who, like Mahler and Ives, appeals to this eclectic era by combining the breadth of the 19th century symphony with the experimental spirit...
