Just to show that I'm broad-minded, I'd like to be able to quote some equivalent absurdity in favor of Truman. Unfortunately, there haven't been any. At least, I haven't heard any from Harvard professors. Both Mark Howe, of the Law School, who spoke for Truman at the Law School Forum, and Sam Beer, of the Government Department who backed Truman in a debate with Professor Cherington Thursday evening, gave exceptionally clear, intelligent talks. So did Cherington, as a matter of fact--but Beer and Howe managed to persuade me that what I had thought...
When success first came, Lehar was 35 -broad, bluff and charming. But he had had to fight for his laurels. The first rehearsals of The Merry Widow in Vienna seemed so bad that he had to plead with the director, "Let us at least open." Its Vienna success was instantaneous, and soon Paris, Berlin, London and New York were whistling the famous waltz. But the world never gave Lehar the serious reputation he thought he deserved.

The UNESCO officials, said U.N., had come down with something almost as common in the Marbial Valley as illiteracy: malaria...
After investigating many patients, Freud decided that the basis of almost all personality conflicts is "sexual." He used the word in a very broad sense to include all kinds of love and pleasure, from eating to a fondness for abstract thought. His emphasis on sex caused bitter breaks with two of his most famous followers: Carl Jung, who was sniffy about Freud's emphasis on "sexuality" in infants, and Alfred Adler, who believed that a "drive for power" was equal in importance with "sexual urges...
