...always brought the rewards he expected. The day after Harry Truman's victory in the 1948 election, Kip's Changing Times was in the mail with a cover story entitled "What Will Dewey Do?" and blaring its "beat" in full-page ads (TIME, Nov. 8, 1948 et seq.). This massive blooper sent the circulation of all the Kiplinger publications plummeting. With characteristic candor, Kip admitted that "I made the mistake." With equally characteristic vigor (staffers estimate that he works as much as 70 or 80 hours a week), Kip set out to repair the damage. Today...
Political Farce. Stalin put him in charge of Soviet atomic development. His great contributions: 1) information gathered by his spies in the U.S. and Britain from Fuchs, May, Pontecorvo, the Rosenbergs, et al.; 2) uranium mined by his prisoners and impressed workmen in East Germany, Czechoslovakia and, probably, Arctic Siberia.

The villagers along the river-the Mandans, Hidatsa, Arikara, et al.-held off nomadic enemies by means of their greater numbers, their fortifications and their superior culture. But when the first whites brought smallpox, the Indians were especially vulnerable. The plague swept through their densely built-up villages and killed most of their inhabitants. The Sioux were not hit as hard. When the disease appeared, the Sioux scattered, each family for itself, until the epidemic had subsided. Then, still strong, the nomads attacked the weakened villages and destroyed most...
...college presidents, James E. Walter of Congregational Piedmont College in Demorest, Ga. is probably the most tenacious. Since he first accepted a $500-a-month gift from an educational foundation started by antiSemitic, anti-Negro onetime Judge George Armstrong of Fort Worth, Texas (TIME, March 12, 1951, et seq.), students and facultymen have demanded again & again that he resign. Last week, as the academic year closed, President Walter was in the same old cauldron again...
