...main thrust of Y.W. activities these days is directed toward social action in the community. The St. Louis association, for instance, has started a letter-writing campaign to persuade the Missouri legislature to enact a fair-housing law. In Cincinnati, under a Y.W.-sponsored program social workers go to old-age nursing homes to entertain and teach lonely inmates recreational skills. Y.W. members now run a number of local Job Corps, Head Start and Neighborhood Youth Corps programs. In another tie-in with the federal antipoverty program, 27 Y.W. centers are opening their residences to 1,800 girls just...
...Fair Balance." For textiles, the U.S. granted only 20% reductions, but of the 5,700 dutiable items on the nation's present tariff schedules, only 211 were excluded entirely from the negotiations (among them: petroleum, sheet glass, zinc, lead, safety pins, umbrella frames, briar pipes and baseball gloves). The Common Market kept such items as heavy commercial vehicles and computers (except for those using punch cards) out of the dickering. Jean Rey, the Belgian chief negotiator for the Common Market, called his group "extremely satisfied" with the outcome-a reaction echoed by most governments. Secretary of State Dean Rusk...

The device almost works...
...shortcomings aside, there is something to be learned from scanning Quotemanship. Instead of simply listing his thousands of fascinating quotes-ranging from Gangster Al Capone on the American free-enterprise system to one Morris Zelditch on fluoridation-Historian Boller has chosen to weave them into a convincing argument for fair play in the use of quotations. But no matter how much harm may be done by distorting quotes, he demonstrates that the unretouched, straight quote can be most damaging of all. Practically everybody at one time or another has made statements that would better have been left unsaid...
James Lardner's hard-nosed man-of-the-world reproach to the Kearns-Levinson article in the New Republic ("Brass Tacks" -- no less!) exhibits the kind of sophomoric bunk that I do not usually associate with the CRIMSON. The rhetoric is fair but he didn't read the article. And if he did, then he's guilty of the gar greater sin of twisting the gist thereof to best fit his private beat. Shortly stated, Lardner's paraphrase of what Kearns and Levinson wrote is that the best way to dump the chief is to a) start a third party...
