These days, the students simply haul the new rector about the cobbled streets in a handcar, subjecting him to indignities on the way. But last week they relented for ailing Rector Snow, and he responded with an address that might have been aimed at Critic Leavis had not Snow announced its theme months ago. The title: "On Magnanimity." His main theme was that the more advanced nations of the world should show greater understanding and generosity toward the poor countries. But he turned a sharp point toward individual magnanimity, deplored "a very ugly streak of malice" in Britain, and quoted...
Because Greyhound had a virtual monopoly of existing long-haul interstate routes and the ICC was unwilling to franchise new ones, Moore was obliged to build up his system by buying small local bus lines in a careful pattern that linked them into new long-haul routes. Octopus-like, Continental stretched its tentacles across the Southeast and into the Midwest; by 1953 the company had its first transcontinental route (it now operates five).

The haul: a two-carat diamond ring, two wedding rings, a stainless-steel watch, worn gold Masonic ring and key, two dimes and five pennies, with a total value of $3,440.25. The four climbed back into the car and drove away...
Arriving in Quito, Ecuador's Foreign Minister faced expulsion from his strongly anti-Communist party. In Rio the anti-Castro press was in an uproar and a group of Deputies wanted to haul Foreign Minister Francisco San Thiago Dantas on the carpet to explain himself. Nowhere was the clamor louder than in Argentina, where the outraged leaders of the three military services threatened to overturn the government of President Arturo Frondizi...
