...that Nehru was planning to take over the country-an attitude that India found as disconcerting as the U.S. often finds India's. Of the $12 million that Red China is pouring in, most has vanished down the well of government deficit, and Nepal has flatly refused to allow Chinese technicians inside its borders. As for recent U.S. aid-development projects in more than 1,200 villages, the ridding of the Rapti Valley of malaria-carrying mosquitos, the building of more than 600 classrooms, a $5,000,000 system of roads-it has met with an equally disheartening reception...
...Secret. The ease with which Stan does his slugging makes him the envy of every batter in the league. No "guess hitter" who tries to anticipate a pitcher's plans and prepare his swing in advance, Stan boasts a set of split-second reflexes that allow him to wait until a ball is halfway to the plate before he commits himself. Though reflexes and muscles are both 37 years old, they are still good enough to enable Stan to belt baseballs at the remarkable early-season clip of .509-good enough to lead both leagues.

But the shows were expensive. Filmed shows could hope for reruns, allow mistakes to be corrected, could be produced more conveniently in Hollywood, where sets did not have to be struck within minutes to make room for the next show.

The Faculty, indicating that such challenge is to be found in greater independent work, voted to allow Honors Juniors and Seniors to take only three courses "at their discretion," and even fewer "with special permission...
...spite of all the mishaps which marred the performance (at one point the entire performance had to stop and start some measures back), there was also a great deal of beauty. The Requiem is long, even with two movements omitted, and often repetitive. Professor Woodworth did not allow it to fall asleep. He used the chorus in such a way as to provide the greatest possible contrast to the organ; and even if the chorus has sometimes sounded more polished, its performance was, under the conditions, nothing to be ashamed...
