Putrament's forecast was hardly in print before the Politburo was directing all Polish Communists to fight on two fronts: against "sectarians," a discreet new name for the Stalinists, and against "revisionists," the derogatory new name for the liberal hopefuls. By last week it was becoming clearer that the brunt of the attack is being borne by the revisionists...
...talks were going "extremely well." He was elated to learn that Saud had come to the U.S. to speak not merely for himself but as a representative of Egypt, Syria and Jordan as well. And since, as Secretary Dulles assured newsmen, the King "very definitely" had got a much clearer understanding of the Eisenhower doctrine and the new role that the U.S. aims to play in the Middle East, Saud's trip may well foretell a more stable climate in that area...
Just what Captain Bradley's "just" demands were became clearer when federal mediators hurried I.L.A. and N.Y.S.A. representatives into further bargaining sessions.

In 1862 the members of Congress by passing the Morrill Act gave impetus to the whole system of publicly supported institutions of higher learning in the United States...
...subtle alchemy of words, it was no longer the young men but the Communist Party on trial. This was made even clearer when the prosecution described the young men as "criminal elements who had dirtied the workers' demonstration." "It is not the accused who have fine cars to go on mountain holidays and nice apartments," retorted a defense lawyer. "The accused are certainly closer to the working class than those [i.e., the Communist elite] who hide behind their golden curtains...
