...decision that aroused considerable College controversy (and ultimately led to last year's religious squabble), the University decided to replace the old Appleton Chapel with a "War Memorial Chapel," in memory of Harvard's sons who died in the war to end all wars. Complaints fell into three main groups: first of all, the University planned to exclude the names of three Harvard sons whose loyalty was to the Central Powers and who died fighting against this country; secondly, many feared that the proposed chapel might turn out an architectural monstrosity in a Yard already cluttered with buildings; and most...

Heyman got in a plug for systems such as the Health Insurance Plan of Greater New York, of which he is honorary board chairman.

Shocked and bewildered, the green troops nevertheless hold firm, then make a wild charge that carries the Communist outworks...
...four hours, too weak to raise their rifles, surrounded by several hundred Communist troops, 25 heroic U.S. infantrymen sit caked in blood and sweat and dust, and wait for help to come -wait unaware that all the while, back in the headquarters of the Far East command, a little group of earnest, greying generals are solemnly debating a question that may carry, for the unmilitary observer, some suggestion of the impersonal horror, the mindless irony of war.
