...Fluid Swing. It had been happening all week. First-round scores were amazingly high; half the field failed to break 80. As the tournament shook down, the big names vanished. Defending Champion Ed Furgol never figured; Samuel Jackson Snead, with two good rounds under his belt, exploded all over the course. ("Well, I've had my opportunity, boy," he muttered to his caddy.) Now, going to the 14- green on the fourth round was the one man who still had a chance of catching Hogan: Jack Fleck, 32, a loose-jointed sharpshooter out of Davenport, Iowa, who never took...
High spot in the book is Bridgeman's record altitude try. Writes Bridgeman: "I have left the world . . . Every cell, fluid, muscle of my body is acutely awake. Perception is enormously exaggerated- black is blacker, white is whiter. Silence is more acute . . . Fear seems to be independent, a ghost sitting on my shoulder . . . Time is now.

...face of so fluid a situation, the United States must formulate a foreign policy equally positive and vigorous as the Soviet challenge.

Nothing shows this short-range concern better than the fact that Marshall-plan economic aid was converted into purely military aid at just the moment when the plan was finally beginning to restore pre-war levels of prosperity. So long as Russian policy was also disjointed, the United States could find...
English critic Kenneth S. Lynn '47 writes with such a fluid style, it does not seem surprising that he accumulated the unusual total of three Bowdoin Prizes while completing the manuscript for The Dream of Success. But it would seem on first glance that he has wasted his ability on a collection of early twentieth century writers who are rapidly becoming obscure. Of his five novelists, only Jack London and Theodore Dreiser have achieved any sort of place in literature, while the following of David Graham Phillips, Frank Norris, and Robert Herrick is meagre at best...
