Vital Interests. Through some such concerted program, the State Department still hopes to convince Guatemala's President Jacobo Arbenz of the error of his fellow-traveling ways. But if the situation in Guatemala continues to deteriorate, the ultimate possibility of unilateral U.S. action cannot be ruled out. Said U.S. Ambassador John Peurifoy in Guatemala City last week: "Public opinion in the U.S. might force us to take some measures to prevent Guatemala from falling into the lap of international Communism. We cannot permit a Soviet republic to be established between Texas and the Panama Canal." Peurifoy declined...
...analysis of the 1929 crash does Clark mention the collapse of the huge, artificially bloated stock-market balloon nor the careful measures taken since then to prevent a repetition of this phony boom. Thus, his "complete list" of depression causes not only lacks the chief ones but is in error in the causes cited.

It seems to me important that men should know him intimately." To the suggestion that he is in grievous error and may be ordered to withdraw the book, he points out that he is not engaged in defining doctrine...
...everyone, of course, the clubs have not waned in importance, as the Deans' Office found out several years ago. In the Rollo book, University Hall made the error of belittling the influence of the clubs on the undergraduate. Outraged alumni of the final clubs would not hear of such heresy. They beleagured the deans with protests, pointing out that many of the most active alumni and boosters of the College have been members of final clubs...
