...charcoal grey suit, black loafers and grey Homburg, Berlin's muscular Mayor Willy Brandt, 45. bounded down the steps of the plane from Ottawa last weekend before Washington's photographers could get their cameras aimed. Brandt and his pretty, blonde wife were met by State Department Berlin Expert Eleanor Lansing Dulles, whose brother John Foster had just flown off to confer with German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer about Brandt's Russia-menaced city. Said Brandt: "I will tell my friends in the U.S. about free Berlin . . . You can rely on the people of the city of Berlin...

Unfortunately, however, there is a major difference between science and a field such as Comparative Literature--a difference of language. Whereas any intelligent person who has a certain facility with words can understand the weighty sentences of the expert in Comp. Lit., the same is not true in general of science.

The U.S. will probably agree to provide A-bombs for Canada to push the experiment...
...matter of course, he made the Porcellian Club. Summers he traveled abroad, became expert at living like a first-class passenger on a third-class ticket. On one voyage, he ingratiated himself with Boxing Manager Joe ("I should have stood in bed") Jacobs before the ship left the dock, spent most of the trip playing poker on A-deck with Jacobs, Max Schmeling and Morton Downey. In his sophomore year Alec decided summer trips were too short, set out to get his degree in three years, didn't quite make it (he lacked one-half unit), but managed...
