Multiplied by Five. All last week, as he flailed away at Dwight Eisenhower and the Republicans in campaign speeches in Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon and California, Stevenson industriously worked not only to ride the Democratic coattail but to cloak himself from head to foot in the popularity of his party's most attractive public figures. After reaching for Magnuson in Washington, he jumped to the side of Wayne Morse in Oregon. Then in California he multiplied the tactic by importing the services of five silver-tongued, big-name Democratic officeholders-New Jersey's Governor Robert Mey-ner, Pennsylvania...

...court cases, although cases still in progress must be fought vigorously and new victims defended. But now, while there is a lull, for whatever reason, in the attack on academic freedom, major attention should be turned to securing the repeal and withdrawal of restrictive statutes and regulations, the cloak of due process under which the attackers of academic freedom operate. The best way to achieve this would seem to be for liberals to develop and state clearly the meanings and implications of "academic freedom," in the hope that a wider understanding will develop, capable of withstanding any resurgence of these...

...Artists) is splendidly foreign, with its excellent color shots of the Riviera, Vienna and Sweden, but it is no more intriguing than a deciphered cryptogram reading "See Europe this year," or "Having a wonderful spy. Wish you were her." TV's Producer-Writer-Director Reynolds has concocted a cloak-and-dagger stew from his TV program of the same name, tossed sleepy-eyed Robert Mitchum into the cauldron and trusted that the simmering will wake him up. It does not. Mitchum yawningly tangles with a Babel of exotic accents, negligently disposes of spies, counterspies, a treacherous brunette (Genevieve Page...
