...last week to one of the most important debates on U.S. foreign policy of the 1950s. Subject at issue: the crisis of Berlin. Key debater: Connecticut's white-maned Senator Thomas John Dodd, 51, freshman Democrat making his maiden speech. Dodd aimed eloquent oratorical guns at critics who "attack our policy as too rigid and inflexible," and those who sneer at a U.S. foreign policy based on moral principles. Before he had taken his seat, he had crossed swords with such eminent senior Democratic defenders of flexibility as Arkansas' William Fulbright, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee...
...They are ready with alternate sets of operations orders, have plans for every predictable contingency save one: evacuation of U.S. troops. The omission is not an oversight or a gamble. U.S., British and French forces are set to hold the city against all Communist pressures save an all-out attack, which, the Russians well know, would start World War III. In the cold logistics of a military exercise, this is the Berlin blockade problem...
Dwight Eisenhower, on his fourth visit since Dulles' hernia operation disclosed persistent cancer (TIME, Feb. 23), quickly sensed his friend's low morale.

Within days, the first incidents began-an attack on two white veterinarians, a demonstration in Kotakota that had to be broken up with tear gas, the stoning of European cars in Blantyre. Then one morning in the wooded northern tip of Nyasaland, something far more serious started: a series of apparently coordinated attacks against government airfields and installations...
...Harvard CRIMSON of February 19, three of my colleagues and friends (Messrs. Cherington, H. M. Jones, and Taylor) "attack Harris study on education." I am quoted as saying somewhere "that classes between 25 and 75 are 'worthless.'" I never said anything of the kind. I do believe that the most effective teaching, vis-a-vis the resources put in, is in the very small groups or lectures with, say, 75 students or more. Seymour E. Harris '20, Chairman, Department of Economics...
