...language barrier is more likely ultimately to harm the scientist than it is the humanist; for while the scientist can dip into literature, criticism, and history if he is so inclined, the classicist cannot ruminate for a pleasant evening over the latest volume on automorphic functions, even were he so inclined. If the scientist cannot make contact about science with humanists, he faces the prospect of mumbling to himself about those things to which he has devoted his best energies and talents...
...election day, voters had to dip their left thumb in a bottle of indelible red ink to prevent repeat performances. Even without repeats, the popular winner by far was Nationalist Kenneth Kaunda, 38, whose United National Independence Party drew 65,000 votes with its slogan, "Kwacha!"

For the rest, rich Andover will dip into its pockets for scholarships and loans tailored to the boys' needs. Thus will be formed the group of next year's new boys at a school that aims by intensity and excellence...
...Pros. Mr. Smith is back in Washington, more or less. Lifting the title of the old Jimmy Stewart movie, NBC has turned Smith into a "dip me in butter and fry me for a catfish" type, giving the role to Fess Parker. It maybe-to borrow a line from its own dialogue-"in more hot water than a washcloth." Another old movie, Going My Way, is now a TV series (ABC), with Gene Kelly and Leo G. Carroll doing nicely as Father Bing Crosby and Father Barry Fitzgerald. In other seasons, a cassock opera like this one might have stood...
