Jolly-ups are with us no longer, and a new battle has begun in the War between the Sexes at Harvard. No longer will the race be to the swift or the victory to the bold. Open combat has been officially outlawed. To a world already overcharged with turmoil and flux, an additional burden of anxiety has been added. From this date onward only the crafty will survive...
Under this unseemly quarrel lay a bold plan of maneuver: Grivas, who dreams of himself as a kind of Greek De Gaulle, hopes to use Greek passions over Cyprus as a lever with which to overturn the Athens government of Premier Constantine Karamanlis. Last week, driven to plain talk, Makarios publicly said as much.

As chairman of the Senate-House conference to resolve the differences between the two measures, he fought...
...entwined are the destinies of all the world's nations in 1959 that a bold new initiative by one of the superpowers has something like the effect of a lucky shot on a pinball machine. Last week, as a consequence of Dwight Eisenhower's historic decision to invite Khrushchev to the U.S., lights were flashing and bells ringing all around the globe...
