...minimum involvement in Europe consistent with European stability and British defense was Britain's aim. That minimum was a substantial effort in terms of rearmament programs and the stationing of the major part of Britain's armored divisions in Germany. It entailed an official abandonment of the belief that the Channel could be a defense. That has been the starting point of the post-war move away from isolationism...
...also likes to manufacture verbs (e.g., to casualize-to employ casual labor), make up opposites (diseconomy, derestrict), and use unnecessary nouns as escapee ("We already have escaper"). He indulges recklessly in the not un-habit (not unjustifiably, not unduly unreasonable), shilly-shallies hopelessly in the apparent belief that "mistiness is the mother of safety." Thus, he will write, "In transmitting this matter to the Council the Minister feels that it may be of assistance to them to learn that, as at present advised, he is inclined to the view that, in existing circumstances, there is, prima facie, a case...

Last week, at the risk of bringing Red reprisals down on their heads, East German Roman Catholic bishops sent a letter of protest to the East German puppet...
...lanky, boyish-looking man of 41, Ballantine has a Ph.D. from Harvard, seems the sort of scholarly man any scholarly college would want. But other colleges do not share Reed's almost fanatical belief in the power of the faculty and student body. Example: when Ballantine suggested that the faculty council should not have the final say on faculty salaries, his suggestion was rejected. Last June, without consulting the faculty, Ballantine temporarily suspended an art professor for refusing to answer questions before the Velde Committee. By a 38-9 vote, the faculty passed a resolution expressing a "grave weakening...
