...Cuss Word. Despite his success as a Democratic politician, Lausche is the despair of Ohio's professional Democrats, most of whom he loudly classifies as "bosses." In 1950, when his loyal supporter, State Auditor Joe Ferguson, ran for the U.S. Senate, Lausche made it quite plain that he thought Republican Robert A. Taft was a much better man (Taft beat Ferguson by 450,000 votes while Lausche was being re-elected Governor by 150,000). Since 1952, Lausche has been unstinting in his praise of Republican Dwight Eisenhower, only last week said in a speech that Eisenhower has brought...
...monologue effects one is liable to get in reading, when often the various speakers are practically indistinguishable. Moreover, though many of Joyce's visual puns are lost in the transition to the stage, the actors' interpretations through pantomime and inflection clear up a number of obscurities and carry the auditor happily through scenes where he might easily be left wallowing in confusion...

Such a plan, however, seems to place financial book-balancing above Harvard's quest for a high calibre student body. In discussing the importance of quality personnel over economic solvency, President Conant once noted that a university could be bankrupt even if the annual auditor's report showed a dollar surplus. Solvency and Harvard's continuing success, he said, depend almost entirely upon its ability to attract the best available men to both the student body and faculty. That drive for undergraduate quality, begun with the National Scholarships in 1936, now faces a $10 roadblock. The administration...
