...this gradual development that brought Harvard to the Yale game in superior physical and mental condition. And it was this emphasis on conditioning and fundamentals that allowed the Crimson to wear down the more spectacular Yale team with blocking and tackling, and remove a nine point deficit with two fourth quarter touchdowns...
...gradual warming of the arctic climate (TIME, July 26) may eventually make the barren lands flow with milk and honey. But as the warm temperature moves northward, its shift produces unpleasant as well as pleasant effects. Last week Dr. Rene Pomerleau, of the Canadian government's forest pathology laboratory, warned that birch forests are dying all over northern New England and eastern Canada.

If the dying trees are not harvested soon, fungi will destroy them...

Both courses would in the end aid the Communists: appeasement obviously by strengthening them, internal repression and atomic war with all its terrors by making democratic life impossible for a long time, regardless of who wins. A smart nymph, according to Toynbee...
...message to the World Bankers President Eisenhower spoke up for "the gradual and selective revision of [U.S.] tariffs." But the British were more impressed by the fact that the Randall Commission's tariff-slicing recommendations have not been enacted, that the tariff was raised on Swiss watches, and that the U.S. Tariff Commission has just started hearings on the plea of U.S. bicycle makers for a higher tariff and an import quota on foreign-made bicycles. (British bicycle sales in the U.S. have increased from...
