...raise with an answer the union could only consider a countercheck quarrelsome-a proposal that Ford workers take a cut instead. Said Ford Vice President John S. Bugas: "We think the American people are tired of negotiations which seem to have no other aim besides gain for all parties except the consumers." Ken Bannon, U.A.W. Ford director, retorted: if the company would exert its influence with industry and Congress "to effect a substantial rollback in the cost of living," the union "will be happy" to withdraw its demands...
...with his handling of the Socialist-Catholic dispute over school subsidies, he had resigned (TIME, May 17). Last week, at the "earnest request" of Regent Charles and of Parliament, he withdrew his resignation. Spaak was back on his own terms-the compromise finally adopted in the school dispute was (except for minor details) the one on which he had insisted all along.

...Except in rare cases, this "spirit of learning" seems to be a very weak spirit in Harvard College today. It is probably no weaker than in other American colleges; but this is a fact that magnifies rather than minimizes the problem. If Harvard, as a leading liberal arts college, cannot inspire its undergraduates with the desire to learn, then liberal education would appear to have no place in American life. Surely, unless some way is discovered to light the desire to learn, we will soon no longer be able to assert, along with William James, that students do not come...
