Professional Polish. Even though he had the added job of running the Administration-wide Operations Control Board, Herter began feeling restless about having, as he saw it, too small a role in State Department decisionmaking. When the gossip about Herter's frustration broke out in the papers, Dulles began gradually turning over to Herter some broad sectors of responsibility: congressional relations, inter-American affairs, the Middle East, nuclear-test-ban negotiations. Even in these sectors, Dulles and the President still made the top-level decisions (sending troops to Lebanon, suspending U.S. nuclear tests for one year), but Herter handled...
Arriving in Geneva last summer for a conference hopefully leading to a nuclear test ban, U.S. delegates began laying out a sweeping proposal. The West would agree to an indefinite year-to-year suspension of all nuclear tests provided that the Russians would agree to a reasonable control system under which international teams of inspectors could check all suspicious nuclear-sized blasts...
Fireballer Ed Wadsworth will take the mound against the Quakers in pursuit of his third win of the spring. Wadsworth pitched very effective games against Quantico and Brandeis, and seems to have overcome for the moment his disastrous control problem of last year. At Brandeis he gave up only three runs and struck out four, although he tired in the late innings as he issued five walks, and often ran the count to 3 and 2. After a light workout Wednesday, and a rest yesterday, he feels fully recovered from his four inning relief stint Tuesday against Springfield...

It involves controlling the pressures of mounting applications, rising tuition, alumni fathers, and beefing up the football team...
...Crimson's only loss of the afternoon came at first singles, where Amherst's highly regarded Tom Richardson outlasted varsity captain Ned Weld, 4-6, 6-2, 6-4, in a tough match. Richardson, who had his game under perfect control, constantly hit the corners with beautiful passing shots, and Weld wasn't fast enough to get to them. After a fine start in which he took the first three games, the Crimson captain was a bit off his best game; on several occasions he netted smashes which he might have put away for easy points...
