...Near Defeat. The chorus of critics-public and private-was saying that Sir Alec was his party's own worst liability. In Commons, he had proved no match for the acid jousts with Prime Minister Harold Wilson. On TV, he came across to the nation as a frail, pale shadow of the graceful, witty private Sir Alec. The latest National Opinion Poll had Labor back in front of the Tories 46% to 41%. On a man-to-man popularity basis, polls invariably showed Home trailing Wilson. One gave Wilson the nod in virtually every category, from "tough" (Wilson...

To most Japanese, on the other hand, Koreans are senjin-subhumans-personified by the garlic-reeking Korean thugs who rule Tokyo's underworld.

Lerner '65, a member of the CRIMSON editorial board...
Surgeon Joseph Lister had never heard of viruses when he began to de velop aseptic surgery a century ago, but he showed uncanny prescience when he picked carbolic acid for the germ-killing spray in his operating rooms. Temple University's Dr. Mor ton Klein has been comparing germi cides, and reports that Lister's phenol, or carbolic acid, is as potent as the fancier formulations of modern chem istry against most viruses; it is actually more potent against some of the small est viruses, which cause many respira tory diseases and polio. Also potent are sodium hypochlorite...
