Alan is getting a degree
in astrophysics.
Someone got to tell
after graduation,the next
stop is Earilt.
He's going to discover that there's quite a kit happening on this planet, in
politics, in the arts and theater. In business, as well as in science.
Of course, if Alan had been getting The New York Times, he'd have
done all the required reading necessary for re-entry to the real world. He'd
be ready to talk with the natives, to live among them and to enjoy himself.
It's not too late for you to avoid Alan's fate. Just fill out the coupon
below, or see our representative on campus. We'll arrange to put The
Times in your hands every morning for what you'll consider a remarkably
down-to-earth price.
