Aside from Caldwell's analysis, a oneminute film of a 1911 Princeton game will be shown for contrast. Palmer will also show various uniforms to illustrate how they have changed since football's early days...
...military policy too, the Democratic stand needs clarification. Stevenson's recent expressed hope that the manpower draft can be ended would seem in complete contrast with his party's normal orientation toward a program of balanced military preparedness. But a professional army composed of 20-year men, on examination, actually seems more reliable than a conscript army. Such an army would be less costly and more effective, Stevenson feels, because it would not be crippled by the need to retrain completely every two years.

Stevenson realizes that something is needed besides bigger and better weapons in today's world--something which will inspire people, instead of frighten and mutate them. He sees that a New America and a new world will emerge only from creative leadership. Specifically, in foreign affairs, Stevenson advisers like George Kennan, Chester Bowles, and Thomas Finletter grasp the problems involved in containment, neutralism, economic...
