Just as closely, but with a different focus, politicians will watch returns from Connecticut's Third District (New Haven). The Third is a switch district: in Republican 1946 it went Republican by 23,000; in Democratic '48 it slipped to the Democratic side by 1,139, then stayed there by 7,000 in 1950; in Republican 1952, it switched back to the Republican column by 11,610. Early reports from New Haven brought the first deep frowns at Adlai Stevenson's headquarters on the evening of Nov. 4, 1952. In 1954, Republican trend-watchers will be pleased...

The arguments in Harvard's favor seem to view the trust as a fund with a set of purposes attached, while the petitioners focus on what is going to happen to those 265 acres in Jamaica Plain. The Association sees only the collapse of an identifiable unit, the disappearance of a unique institution among the folds of the Harvard empire. It is on his point that the question of whom is benefit ted seems...
...some very real accomplishments to its credit. Through functional agencies, such as the World Health Organization and UNESCO, it has achieved a degree of international co-operation never before seen on such a scale in peacetime. And even as a propaganda forum, it has at least given clearer focus to the problems that divide the world...
