Texas GOP Sen. John Cornyn and various other senators said nothing in defense of young American men and women when university lobbies used a June 14 hearing to request more foreign students that will take white-collar jobs sought by young Americans. “There are over a million fewer U.S. domestic students enrolled in college than there were just three years ago … [and] compared to five years ago, international student enrollment has declined by 21 percent,” Bernard Burrola, a vice president at the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities , told a Senate hearing on June 14. The foreign students are a bonanza for the universities and their local economies, Burrola told Cornyn and Sen.

Facing stubbornly high gas prices that average about $5 a gallon nationwide, President Joe Biden on Wednesday urged Congress to suspend federal gasoline and diesel taxes for three months. If savings from the 18.4 cents-a-gallon federal tax on gas are fully passed along to consumers, drivers would save about $2.76 for a 15-gallon fill-up. It’s unclear, though, if Biden can push his proposal through Congress, where lawmakers, including some Democrats, are skeptical or even opposed to the idea.

Hemant Kumar was a music director, singer and film producer, all rolled into one. He left his own distinct touch in all the three areas. Not limited by language, he used to sing and compose for Hindi, Bengali and regional (Tamil, Marathi, Assamese) films. The variety in Hemant Kumar’s music was a result of his being influenced by Rabindra Sangeet and folk music of Bengal and other regions. He was open to drawing from different musical styles and forms. His peppy and classical numbers have stood the test of time, and form an important chapter in the golden era of film music.
