Today "the age that is waiting before" presses harder than ever on the crust of conservatism that has always surrounded Harvard with tradition. For several years college administrators throughout the country have been looking with alarm at the problems facing them in the next decade, when the now legendary deluge of "war babies" will flood admissions offices with applications for college entrance...
...Wrong Man (Warner). When the true story of Manny Balestrero was printed in the newspapers a few years ago, it made a strange and haunting tale. On the afternoon of Jan. 13, 1953, Balestrero, an $85-a-week bass player at Manhattan's crusty, upper-crust Stork Club, went to the office of a Long Island insurance company to raise a small loan on his wife's policy. The next evening he was arrested and "positively identified" by two of the insurance company's employees as the man who months earlier had robbed the office at gunpoint...
Under Siple's direction, four meteorologists, a glaciologist, a seismologist and upper-atmosphere specialists will dig deep into the antarctic's frozen crust and probe far into its icy, gale-lashed upper atmosphere. While they pursue their specialties, other scientists will be working at six other U.S. bases around the rim of the 5,000,000-sq.-mi. continent. Like the polar scientists of ten other nations now assaulting Antarctica, all are participants in the International Geophysical Year studies of 1957-58. The I.G.Y's objective: a free exchange of the newly gained scientific information among...

As the friend went on, Cooper began to think: "How glad I should have been to have found such an institution in the City of New York when I was myself an apprentice . . . I then determined to do what I could to secure...
Fast March. The Astor announcement highlighted the march of U.S. industrial headquarters on Manhattan Island toward the upper East Side, particularly Park Avenue. Once the barracks of New York's upper crust, Park Avenue is becoming the prestige address of U.S. business. From its new Park Avenue perch, the Astor Plaza will look southward on the bronze-skinned, 38-story House of Seagram, now a building on the next block, westward at blue-green Lever House, just across Park Avenue. Within a radius of two blocks on Park Avenue, four other office buildings are going up, while buildings have...
