...expected to lead a serious third-party movement. Between now and 1956, McCarthy may get angry enough to run for President-not because he wants the job, but because he might see such a move as revenge. But even his third-party nuisance value is doubtful. The hard core of McCarthy's following-the group that not even Joe can drive away-probably contains as many Democrats as Republicans; a McCarthy candidacy would not result in much net loss to either party...
...most students to add the time burden of playing and practicing for a team to the hours spent commuting. As a result, Dudley finished in the cellar of the House league, although nearly 150 men took some part during the year. Lest the figure be deceiving, only a small core of about 20 men were able to spend time consistently with the squads...

The plans called for a 1,000-car underground garage, but when Zeckendorf's Webb & Knapp engineers started taking core samples, they found a 65-ft. formation of blue clay, sand and rock that would have to be excavated at a cost of about $3.000,000. Bill Zeckendorf told his men to keep on sampling. Last week, instead of a banana, they found a bonanza. They had struck gold...
