There were about three issues during 1931's final years that affected the whole nation and about which the undergraduate had definite ideas of his own. One was pacifism, which came to the fore annually when the West Point cadets came to Cambridge for the Harvard-Army football game. The cadets, marching solemnly over Anderson Bridge to the Stadium, presented a marked contrast to the motley Harvard rooters. But the CRIMSON was not alarmed: "the playing field this afternoon should give ample proof that the men of West Point offer no inherent threat of jingo militarism against the world...
...output of goods and services, most experts think they are needed to supply an expanding economy. In 1939 about $20 billion worth of inventories was adequate; in 1956 the U.S. needs four times as much to make sure that booming consumer demand is satisfied. With fore casts of a gross national product of $403 billion for 1956 (up $16 billion from 1955), inventories will creep still higher to keep pace with future sales.

It was an uncaptioned photograph taken months ago at a prankish Arizona reception and blown up big. The picture showed Adlai Stevenson with a hangman's noose around his neck...
...First Lady (who often gets her clothes from Designer Mollie Parnis) stopped off at Steyerman's Department Store and bought nine dresses-linens, cottons and silk prints (size 14) in small, muted patterns. On impulse Mamie also tried on some of Steyerman's new over-the-fore-head hats. The upshot, familiar to many a U.S. husband, was that she emerged from Steyerman's with the same black pillbox she had been wearing when she left the Humphrey plantation...
