...could mean a protracted period of pleading for negotiations, perhaps coupled with sweeping proposals for European disengagement, in the hope that time and soft words might erode the capitalist enemy's determination to the point where Moscow feels it is safe to resume tougher tactics. This would certainly fit in with the views of those in the West who continue to argue that if Russia was reasonable enough to give up its Cuban bases, the U.S. ought to give up some of its own bases. A first sign of the line came at a Bonn reception last week when...
Stanford still has plenty of problems. The 5,580 undergraduates are a delight to such faculty newcomers as Historian Gordon Craig, who calls them "a lot fresher than Princeton students." But the brains behind the tanned, healthy faces are getting sharper than the curriculum, which needs revision to fit them. The untaxing overseas courses, for example, are often labeled "inane." Humanities need to be put on a par with science. Stanford's new boys and girls also chafe at Stanford's quaint old ways. Liquor is banned and so is "partisan politics," which means that Nixon and Brown...
...Experiment and The-Physics gently dissects Eddington under an aegis that most critics want to share: evaluation of what seems reasonable and what seems unreasonable. I have the feeling that Newman, with his long experience mathematics, could also have something interesting to say about Eddington's attempt to fit the constants of nature to a Procrustean bed of positive integers at a time when so many physicists have been concerned to verify values of these constants out to five decimal places...
...week during the term, and there is not always time to point out all the relationships between topics covered several months apart. The problem is especially acute at Harvard, where many students do not attend all their lectures and therefore tend to miss the lecturer's efforts to fit individual works from the reading list into some over-all pattern. A skillfully devised examination question, however, can lead the student to assemble materials from all the different parts of a course while constructing a single, unified essay...
...closest thing to specific evidence was a month-old Tass statement, which suggested that Moscow was willing to be patient about signing a peace treaty with East Germany until after the U.S. elections. The danger in Berlin remains real enough at all times, but it also happens to fit in neatly with the Kennedy election strategy; one way of diverting attention from the Cuba issue is to argue that Berlin is really more dangerous and important. At week's end, the Administration itself revised its timetable, now suggested that the big crisis would come early next year rather than...
