...President re-stated the recommendations that he has proposed time and time again. He reiterated the program that has come to be accepted as the core of liberal aspirations for the immediate future of the country. He plumped for civil liberties, extension of social security, better education, a national health program, preservation of our national resources, higher minimum wages, more houses, continued assistance to farmers--all of which add up to a higher standard of living...
There is some doubt that the Wallace movement is a genuine third party movement of the same type as the Populist, Progressive, or early Republican parties. At this point Wallace does not have the support of organized labor, the supposed core of any contemporary rebellion. Nor is there the same widespread discontent that has accompanied other third parties. Not since the Republicans rose from obscurity to power on the issue of slavery has there been a strong third party movement except in times of economic stress.

There isn't any. Instead we have articles on the drama at Harvard, Radcliffe...

Purpose of this blueprinted binge was not escape, but sabotage of the hated measure (a mild bill for government control of Japan's coal mines). When the Speaker called for a preliminary vote, alcoholic catcalls greeted him. Then surow mow (slow motion) set in. Opposition members slowly sauntered to the ballot box. One of them, loudly complaining of an injured leg, took two minutes to climb the six-step rostrum to the ballot box. Others, magnificently squiffed, zigzagged through the chamber, stopped to chat with friends...
