...strikes at the MIG bases, however, illustrated Johnson's peculiar ability to add to the onus. Barely three days before the bases were bombed, Illinois' Republican Senator Charles H. Percy was assured by both the State and Defense Departments that they would not be touched. Moreover, Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara had said only a few weeks earlier that "under present circumstances-and this belief can change as time goes by-we think the loss in U.S. lives will be less if we pursue our present target policy than they would, were we to attack those airfields." McNamara...
...accepted over 40. Columbia had only 16 Negro freshmen two years ago; this year it has accepted 56. Chicago, with a mere ten Negro freshmen two years ago, has accepted 75. Harvard, which never makes an official count of its students by race, nevertheless seems certain to add sharply to the 160 unofficially estimated to be on the campus now.

...profess to be perplexed about whether this is 85-year-old Author Wodehouse's 70th or 80th or maybe even 90th book. No use trying to count, they say, because in Wodehouse's puzzling world, as in Einstein's, one and one don't always add up to two. Quite true. Old Wodehouse-masters know it is equally fruitless to try to unravel the plot in one of his potty idyls. In this book, he sets out to tell the tale of a cuckoo American millionaire's efforts to steal an 18th century paperweight from...
