...Pope read off the names of his choices. At the end he asked, in the time-honored ritual phrase, "Quid vobis videtur? [What do you think?]" In the sign of an assent that is now automatic, the cardinals doffed their scarlet zucchetta (skullcaps). The Pope pronounced the words of appointment: "By the authority of Almighty God, of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul and of ourself, we appoint"-and here, one by one, the Pope named the men-"to be cardinals, in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen." Thus the Sacred...
...pity that their ambition is not more specifically directed. True, they have met with a huge number of difficulties. The retirement of the last Bliss Professor, Clarence Haring, ten years ago killed off formal interest in Latin America; the Bliss Committee whose job is to appoint a new Professor has been content to use the chair's funds for four "Fellows." Members of various Faculties who want to devise new course offerings, exchanges of men with universities in the hemisphere, and seminars and lectures, can only do so as volunteers. The only paid staff administering the Studies Office now consist...
...third solution, probably the best one, is to appoint a man of great stature in the field, around whom a staff can be built--in short, to appoint a Bliss Professor. Admittedly he is not easy to find; very likely he must be lifted from a program elsewhere. But the University found Sir Hamilton Gibb for Middle Eastern Studies, offering no more than an excellent salary and the promise of a growing center to come. Latin America, so curiously neglected for many decades, deserves as much...
...Administration intends to appoint about ten more Republicans among the 38 judgeships that remain to be filled. Like Eschbach, most of them will probably get appointments in areas that are already solidly Republican (and are thus not likely to be swayed by federal favors) or in populous states (New York, Illinois and California) where several Democrats have already been chosen and the party is satisfied. Once this is done, Kennedy's score on partisanship will be little different from that of his predecessors: Roosevelt named 208 Democrats and 8 Republicans, Truman 129 Democrats and 13 Republicans, Eisenhower 175 Republicans...
...remove. Lowell's course of action was classic; he moved Briggs upstairs to the third floor office space in University Hall now occupied by the freshman deans and cut him off from all important decisions. The two continued this way for 16 years, until Lowell finally was able to appoint his own man, C. H. Moore. He later replaced Moore with Kenneth Murdock, currently the director of I Tatti...
