...doctrine of adaptation," complains Dr. Hutchins, "has won the day." Which breed or variety of adaptation?...Suffering one's problems is a form of human adaptation...Solving one's problems is an adaptative process also...We are living in a brighter, better age-an age when most, if not all, of our problems have fairly obvious solutions. We have entered the era of adaptation by problem-solving; and have largely abandoned the ancient age of adaptation through problem-suffering...
...been spent on it. During the last five years, total air force expenditures have been under $2.5 billion, and the industry estimates that only a fourth of its present capacity is being used. Only 1,000 planes a year of all types are being manufactured. But the future looks brighter. NATO has ordered $86 million worth of Mystère IV interceptors; the U.S. has placed $30 million in offshore contracts for Republic Thunderjet and Thunderstreak air frames, and the British are trying out the Breguet doubledecker 117-passenger transports...

It is being polished by other stars such as Bing Crosby, Gary Cooper and Errol Flynn, who have been trooping to Germany to plunk down $8,215 apiece and drive off with the 300 S, stock-car model of the racer. In the wealthy hot-rod set, Mercedes...
...seems that Griswold has finally made his decision to join Harvard in a football policy which has for so many years been advocated by Provost Buck. Griswold's alter ego Hall, who represented the N.C.A.A. position, is gone, and the prospect of an enlightened Ivy League seems a lot brighter. Harvard's decision yesterday not to sign the N.C.A.A. television agreement is another important move toward a practical football policy. One cannot de-emphasize football, and at the same time play it for revenue. The N.C.A.A. agreement was merely a business move which kept the necessary big time football apparatus...
