Cold wind and drumming rain beat the golden leaves off oak trees, and the great cliffs of the Hudson were draped in fog, but inside the dining room of West Point's Thayer Hotel the President of the U.S. talked long and gaily between bites of roast beef. His wife, happy too, leaned over and planted a light kiss on Dwight Eisenhower's right cheek for no special reason at all. Ike, like thousands of other old grads this week, was making that American pilgrimage, a homecoming to his alma mater. The occasion: an informal reunion...
...since 1924 had Iowa beaten Michigan. Having built an undergraduate career by winning games for Michigan, Iowa Coach Forest Evashevski had never yet built a team that could down his alma mater. This time the Hawkeyes had a real chance: they had the beef; they had the brains; and the bruising combination seemed enough to wear the Wolverines down.

"Everyone wants a bargain, but when the cut-rate, $100 TV set goes fizzle and the repairman's bill comes to $25, the customer refuses to pay." Manufacturers are partly to blame; while the auto owner has learned by long experience to expect occasional repairs, few appliancemakers emphasize the question of service.
