...They will never call him Papa Pershing," War Correspondent Hey wood Broun wrote 22 years ago in France. Last week, when the commanding general of the A. E. F. was 79, there was no record that any of his one-time doughboys had yet called him Papa. But many a veteran of World War I sent birthday greetings to John J. Pershing, General of the Armies...
...done by the college; Harvard treats its students as men, assumes that they will act as such. It is good psychology, and it works. No planning is done by other students: there are no prescribed rites for Freshmen, no hazing. And none is done by the individual, as a general rule.

For that and for the ruthless use of the secret police his talents sufficed, says Souvarine, for the wise reconstruction and administration of Russia they were pitiful in face of the task with which Lenin himself could scarcely cope. The implacability of a good bomb thrower (TIME, Sept. 4) showed itself inappropriate, to say the least, when Stalin collectivized agriculture at the attested cost of 5,000,000 peasant lives. Lenin continually and publicly admitted his mistakes; Stalin...
