Manhattan is traditionaly a national track power, yet it would be foolhardy to assess the Crimson's chances in the nationals at this point. The Cage track is rather unique, and injuries make predictions dangerous. But it looks as if the problem of confidence might plague coach Bill McCurdy throughout the season...
...writers in America today, Edmund Wilson is probably the most versatile and certainly the most cosmopolitan. When Doctor Zhivago appears, he points out where the translators betrayed the Russian original. When the Dead Sea Scrolls are published, he learns Hebrew, the better to assess their value.

Canham found it wanting: "The Democratic critics a year ago called the Eisenhower forces a 'do-nothing administration.' They presented themselves as men of action-apostles of courage . . . Today, both in the United States and in the allied capitals, but even more in the hostile centers of world communism, the impression prevails that the Kennedy administration shrinks from the test when the test comes." Canham's conclusion: "The Kennedy...
