...like fashion, today's activities are a prelude to Commencement tomorrow morning. At 9 o'clock tomorrow, special services will begin for the graduating students in Memorial Church and, about a half hour later, the degree candidates will form in front of Thayer Hall to march to their seats in Tercentenary Theater...
...night last week at half a dozen or more busy street corners in London, a passer-by could stop and hear an old-fashioned soapbox speech on politics. It was a new fashion of the Conservatives, who suddenly seemed to be under the influence of a big dose of triple-strength Benzedrine. They got a lift from a Gallup poll. It showed a Tory gain and a Labor loss in public popularity in the last year; they were now neck & neck, and if an election were held this week it might be either's neck.

...device called the "Spectro-Chrome" that constantly changes its garish-colored lights, jukebox fashion. With head pointing north, the patient receives "tonations" at favorable times of the day, with a "Favorscope," which is supposed to correct unfavorable "solar, lunar, terrestrial radiant, and gravitational influences."

Similarly, the poll results show that an overwhelming number of men now in the courses feel increased enrollment in the section meetings will...

On its editorial page, the Post still hews to a right-of-center line, but in its text pieces it sometimes wavers in a fashion bewildering to readers. When its left-wing Associate Editor Edgar (Red Star Over China) Snow wrote a series about Russia to the effect that U.S. folks don't understand the Russians but should, the Post ran it-and added a self-conscious little note saying: "Readers may be interested...
