...Call the Bluff." So hardened by the heat of controversy are the opposing scientific views on test suspension that reconciliation or compromise seem almost out of the question. But from the political world last week came a suggestion that demonstrated the possibility of a middle ground. Recently returned from the Geneva talks (TIME, Nov. 24), Tennessee's Democratic Senator Albert Gore, a member of the Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy, urged his ideas on President Eisenhower.

...pocket-sized quarterback began to call his own number at this point, and he got results fast. Squirming through the Yale line on "sneaks," and rolling out around the ends, Ravenel personally gained 52 of the 73 yards covered by the Crimson in its first touchdown drive. And it was quite fitting that he himself registered that score (at the very moment the first half ended) on a five-yard roll-out to his right...
