...most alarming aspect of the housing shortage, at least from the undergraduate viewpoint, is the enormous educational loss to the college. More than one fourth of graduate students are engaged in teaching, either as laboratory assistants, section men, or tutors. These student-teachers are often segregated from students except when performing their formal classroom duties...
...case you get no reactions except that the Vatican has gone over to Moscow, or that Catholicism and Communism are peas in a pod, or that cardinals wear red hats because of their cunningly disguised political sympathies, may I say that your story is an ably written explanation of a unique religious and political situation. It delineates an intelligent Christian who has tried to do God's will in a complex problem.

Under the Belond's yellow skin, the time-tested Offy engine was laid on its side. In its unusual mount, the Offy not only ran cooler, it gave the car a sleek, slanted profile that rose only 22 inches off the track...

While Winner Murray and fellow officials were adamant in their refusal to talk to any Journalists except Gene Farrell, able Editor Farrell was equally firm in declining the invitation. "A reporter normally gets interviews," he said. "These are normal times." In fact, the situation was so abnormal that the Journal was forced to run United Press stories on city government developments in Jersey City; new subscriptions had dropped off 70% since the election. The rival Hudson Dispatch (circ. 56.825), which had expressed less vigorous opposition to the Murray ticket, not only got the run of City Hall but was expected...
