CHICAGO AMERICAN : The resignation of Clare Boothe Luce as Ambassador to Brazil will have no effect on the welfare of the U.S. There had been no popular demand for her-return to public life, and it will not be difficult to find a substitute for Senator Wayne Morse-almost anybody would...
...independent study is not a panacea guaranteeing intellectual curiosity; and mere mechanisms, such as a Harvard-type tutorial system or more theses, would effect little change. Wellesley is a small college and can operate on different systems than can a large university. There are few lecture courses. Most of the work is done in sections, and seminar courses--common for upperclassmen--offer opportunities for individual research projects. The facilities exist for more than a spoonfed, reading-list-and-1500-word-paper education. Only the desire is absent...
These unfortunate themes--of isolation, of college as a mere extension of high school, of commuter weariness--are firmly underlined by observations such as: "commuting may be a necessary evil, but I see no reason to make it a greater problem." In effect, this is Pusey's point when he mentions this "less than the best of all possible worlds." Even if living at home is not an "evil," which seems rather strong terminology, it is a less than ideal way to attend college...
...effect of this artificially high base, says Balderston, is that it crimps U.S. competition abroad (see Foreign Competition) and causes job losses at home. "The recent behavior of prices suggests that American firms have not improved their ability to compete at home or abroad. You hear of business being lost to foreign firms.

This should lead us to question whether job opportunities would not be greater if some prices were lower...
...bill got no support from unions or industry. Steelworkers Union Chief David McDonald opposed the bill because he felt it would have "a stifling effect on free collective bargaining." Freezing prices to halt inflation, said U.S. Steel Chairman Roger M. Blough, is "like trying to check the rising pressure in a steam boiler by plugging up the safety valve." The real cause of rising industrial prices since the war, charged Blough, is rising employment costs, which now "represent more than 75% of all costs." Furthermore, said Blough, the O'Mahoney bill would "diminish still further the profit incentive," could...
