After some difficulty, and by unknown means, the faculty discovered that on the night of March 22 one Wainwright Foster had been guilty of conduct toward a certain George English which was "insulting and irritating in both words and actions." Foster, who seemed the aggressor, thereafter challenged English to a duel that same evening.

Foster was very insistent, and seconds were duly appointed--a Mr. Bullard...

Last week, amid cries from critics who wanted to travel either the high road or the low, Dwight Eisenhower and John Foster Dulles churned resolutely along the center route.

From the first, McLeod told the subcommittee, Corsi refused to stay within the scope of his position, and complained bitterly that he did not have a worthy title. McLeod said that he told Corsi: "Title-schmitle-what do we care about title. If you want a big title, we'll get you one." Nevertheless, Dulles and McLeod waited until Corsi came under attack from Pennsylvania's security-sensitive Democratic Representative Francis...
