Aside from the Harvard-Columbia battle of co-champions in New York, the choicest League offering is at New Haven, where Yale entertains Cornell...
When Israel became a nation in 1948, the majority of its citizens were Jewish immigrants from Europe and the Americas; they had the best education, the choicest jobs, the most money. Today, though Westerners still run the country, they are deeply worried that they will soon be displaced as Israel's ruling class by an unschooled, unskilled mass of settlers of Afro-Asian descent, who already outnumber them.

In columns that grew steadily more vitriolic, he referred to Roosevelt as a "feebleminded fuehrer," Eleanor as "La Boca Grande."

One reason is Armour's chairman, William Wood Prince, an athletic and esthetic man of 47, who is equally at ease in a Michigan Avenue art gallery or on a stockyard's manure pile. In four years as chief executive, Billy Prince has raised Armour's earnings fivefold, to $16 million on last year's sales of $1.7 billion. This year, despite a first-quarter squeeze on profits. Prince expects...
