...have watched with growing dismay the expressed misunderstanding of my article. I am not retracting any of my views as a result of the responses to my article. It is not necessary. The article was an effort to reflect the views of the typical attitude of Mississippians, not John Rorer's. If I agreed entirely with the average Mississippians, I would not have chosen Harvard for the continuing of my education. Neither will I turn my back on my state nor deny it, for there are many good people in my state who deserve to have their view presented...
...sister, Princess Radziwill, into its cover act: WITH SADNESS WE REPORT: WHY JACKIE'S SISTER is A BAD INFLUENCE ON HER. In the past year, said Motion Picture, Princess Radziwill, described as a "jet-setter," has insistently urged her sorrowing sister "into this eddy of meaningless movement."

They are scatterbrained: could she successfully attend to the affairs of her class when occupied, in years to come, by that distasteful business of cooking, sewing, and having babies...
...most respected clerics. He was elected one of six co-presidents of the World Council of Churches in 1961, will help preside at the council's meeting this week in Nigeria. But at home Niemöller is more and more regarded with the same kind of pained dismay that Anglican clerics reserved for the late "Red Dean" of Canterbury-and for a not wholly dissimilar reason. He is now a militant but myopic neutralist, whose angry blasts against "warmongering" always seem to be addressed to the West and never to the Communist world...
