...Dewey, addressing the New York legislature at almost the same time that the President was addressing Congress, dropped his policy of not discussing national issues. He charged that the full blame for inflation lies with the Administration. He also dropped the pretense that he is not an avowed candidate. To a group of G.O.P. legislators, he confided that the same trio which ran his 1944 campaign (Herbert Brownell Jr., Russel Sprague and Ed Jaeckle) would also handle "whatever interests I have nationally" in 1948, i.e., they would be lining up delegates from...
...biggest news came from New Hampshire. A group of leading Republicans held a draft-Eisenhower rally in Manchester, posed for pictures giving a clenched-fist cheer for Ike, and pledged themselves to enter a full slate of Eisenhower candidates (against Dewey and Stassen) in the state's March 9 preferential primary.

(When someone asked him "What's more important, ideas or things'?" Whitehead replied: "Why, I should imagine ideas about things.") For Whitehead, all reality was a pattern of becomings and perishings...
...John Dewey, professor of Philosophy Emeritus at Columbia University, joined fellow philosophers Sunday in paying tribute to the late Alfred North Whitehead, professor of Philosophy Emeritus, who died last Tuesday. "The death of Alfred North Whitehead was a double less to me as to his multitude of friends and admirers. His gracious and radiant personality shone throughout all he said and did. In addition we have lost an intelligence that illuminated every subject it touched. He was a great friend and great philosopher because he was a great human being...
