...Freshmen couldn't pull it off alone. They'll have to wait for a warmer night, a gentler breeze, and the first faint echoes of "Save the Sycamores" being chanted to the rhythm of ten thousand tramping feet before they are iniated to the great Harvard tradition...
...Johnson, 21, became the first member of the U.S. armed forces to be tried in a German court under the U.S.-German status-of-forces agreement that went into effect July 1. The crime: robbing a bank at gunpoint. The punishment: 3½ years in prison, which is a gentler sentence than he would probably have received if he were found guilty by a U.S. military court.

Particularly when, along with all the solemn subjects, our reporting examines the impact of summer in gentler fields. In this issue we take up what art is being celebrated (two color pages of a big Delacroix show at the Louvre); where people go (a Modern Living story on Americans trying to live it up in Europe on $5 a day) and what they hear (four color pages and a comprehensive story in Music about summer music festivals around the U.S.). All news, and no disaster...

He never bothered to talk esthetics: he would say that a picture was "hot" or "terrific"' or that it "hits me hard." In gentler moments, the childless Dale referred to his paintings as "my children," and he once reported that "I look at my pictures every night before I go to bed." He was generous to Washington's National Gallery of Art, of which he became president in 1955, but he would watch carefully...
