...Randall Commission is expected to lay out a clear program to help them do so by the reduction in U.S. tariffs and freer trade among Western nations. For such a program, 1954 will be the year of opportunity; it may also be a last chance. Last year the embargo on East-West trade squeezed the Russians and their satellites so tightly that at year's end the Soviet bosses could not sell enough goods abroad to buy consumer goods for their empty-handed people; they had to sell gold, and in December alone sold an estimated $85 million...
Besides Hasty Pudding and Pi Eta, there are three other non-final social clubs in the College, Speakers, S.A.E. and the N.C. S.A.E., the only fraternity which has survived at Harvard, is affiliated with the national organization, but has successfully petitioned that its rules be freer, particularly as to discriminatory clauses.

Weeks billed his plan as a compromise, but if adopted it would almost certainly raise more tariffs than it lowered...
...economic phenomenon, as some disciples of free enterprise maintain. It is something more mature than that dream of rights without responsibilities which historic liberalism envisioned; it is certainly different from that terrorism of responsibilities without rights which Communism imposes. It is something wiser than free thought, and something freer than dictated thought. For freedom has its roots in man's spiritual nature. It does not arise out of any social organization, or any constitution, or any part, but out of the soul...
