Unions have done much good for the country, and will be needed in the future; but when a "nod of the head" can close down entire industries, it is time to enact restraints on big labor similar to those on big business and big government...
...N.A.A. record of 850.67 yds. for flight of an arrow is impressive, as is the "freestyle" record of 937.13, done with a foot-held bow [Aug. 31]. The latter distance probably exceeds the best done by the Turks in the 15th and 16th centuries, but it must be remembered that all Turkish shooting was done with a hand-held bow. That the Turks were claiming distances approaching 1,000 yds. is, to the best of my knowledge, inaccurate. They measured their distances in a unit called guz, the exact value of which can only be approximated; my conclusion is that...
...usual fierce resolutions denouncing Israel, the eight ministers present added impassioned protestations of support for the Algerian rebels.

We have set out to oppose the forces of repression and to work for understanding. [This leads to] the discovery that the patient or client has been, in effect, too good, that he has within him impulses. especially those of lust...
...became U.S. High Commissioner and Ambassador to West Germany (1953-57). Among plain citizens he has won towering respect since The American High School Today (McGraw-Hill; $1) was published early this year. This fall Conant embarks on a second study: the junior high school. Nobody has already done more to convince Americans that high schools can improve-"with no radical change...
